The last 1800e models are __way__ better cars BTW. I had an earlier model once and wouldn't drive it regularly. The 1800e (pictured) has nice features like four-wheel discs. The 1964 model, in contrast, had four-wheel drum brakes. Eek. I've had both. The side-markers are pretty okay I think. Some people don't like them. Maybe try a 1967 model? You can mold them in. Oh the 1800e in the picture is no doubt fuel-injected BTW. I wouldn't touch a pre-1965 Volvo p1800. If you have the money+space I’d stuff away five or ten.

Reportedly they exist only on the US models. I agree, those side markers are pretty ugly. Reportedly they exist only on the US models.

Totally distracting. I’m debating one of these as my next project- only bad thing I can say about this one is that those shoe-box sized side markers need to beat a hasty retreat.

A Real Beauty! The P1800 & ES Version Are Surely One Of The Least Appreciated Of All The Classic Cars. I Wonder Why. They Look Terrific, Drive Beautifully & Handle Well. Good Opportunity To Get Into One Reasonably Now. This Car Is In Primo Condition. A Real Beauty! The P1800 & ES Version Are Surely One Of The Least Appreciated Of All The Classic Cars. I Wonder Why.
