This car figures into some of my strongest sentimental memories. I could not help smiling all the way through. Your good camera work and production effort is quietly excellent. Thank you from Deschutes County and also “😊Go Ducks!”
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
I'm smiling as I watch your snazzy presentation of the iconic 122S.
A cool car, a fun narrative, beautiful scenery, and a very super job of putting all this together. My wife and I enjoyed driving our 1970 145S in the 70's and 80's. It was more to us than just a average American family car.
Once again, Well Done!
Thanks so much, Steve! I was a little worried when editing this episode that it was going to be too long or too much information but overall, I think we're really getting into the stride of things. Please do let us know if there's anything that you feel like we could do better - we want to make this a series for all ages to enjoy and discover these amazing cars. Also the 145S is such a beautiful car!!
Delight only a 3? I get SO much attention driving my Amazon! People always ask “what is that?” Or “My neighbor had one of these when I was a kid”. A school crossing guard even made me stop to ask me about my car.
As for driving it, I never get out of the car without a smile. Love the looooong shifter and the ribbon speedo display.
People love this car! But remember, the ranking is all based on the Haugland Collection, so other cars tend to turn more heads.
Enjoyed it! Looking forward to getting my Amazon assembled and driving it.
Glad you liked it! Sounds like you have a fun project in store!
You guys never fail to give me a good cackle with these shows. This time around it was the "Ovlov" bit that did it best. Of all the cars you guys showed so far, though, this is the one I'd probably most love to drive given the chance. Looks safe, looks comfortable, looks fun.
OVLOV! Car Branding with Amy was one of the best impromptu gags, and then we followed it up with Swedish Meatballs! How are we going to top ourselves from that?! As always, thanks for watching!
Oh man! That opening short is fantastic! HAHAHA!!!! Ovlov!
The 122S has the same horn button setup as my 172S did. I used to use the metal frame to do rapid fire honking. The speedo was the same with the strip in mine as well, it was one of my favorite styling features. The ebrake location is also one of my favorites as a left-hander :) Now I really want to track down another 144S. You guys are a bad influence on me!
I was in the backseat of the Volvo flying the drone when we got this shot. I was literally freaking out with excitement because I knew it was going to be one of the best shots we'd filmed so far. The snow is so good!! OVLOV!
@@hisnameisjoel Right on! I understand that feeling :)
~very quietly~ Ovlov.
@@amandahaugland2201 Haha! I get that reference 😁
OVLOV!
I was in Portland yesterday and I literally took the drive from IKEA down here (making a stop in Colton). I really like the route you took!
It was certainly not the most efficient way but it was by FAR the most beautiful way. Especially with the snow on the mountains, it really made for some incredible footage!
I love the comment about the flat packed furniture :-)
Oh we absolutely were attempting to foreshadow our upcoming Ikea trip ;)
It's so cute. Especially with a little ski rack 1:12
It's amazing how something like the roof rack makes such a difference to the overall aesthetics of the car. Sure, they were optional (and certainly very rare today!) but how could you not want one without it?! It truly is a standout in the shape of the car itself. We have so much B-Roll footage of the roof rack I'll have to release a whole short episode dedicated just to it. Haha! Thanks so much for watching!!
Personally, the earlier Volvos had much more character than the 80's & 90's models. It seemed Volvo lost a bit of their soul in that era. I drove a '73 1800ES for more than a decade (and still have some spare parts). That was - and is a car I will always treasure. Perhaps an 1800ES will find its way into the Haugland Collection some day as well.
There actually already is a 1800ES in the collection, along with a matching 1800E, to the point where they are both mustard yellow! We also have a PV544 to round out our classic Volvos. The 1800s are fantastic cars, as is the PV544, which made it hard to decide which Volvo to feature first. At some point, we will do an episode with possibly with both 1800s, back to back, which would be a lot of fun.
Alex already commented - but so glad you enjoyed the episode. We loved getting to show off this classic Volvo, it's such a treasure. And you're absolutely right - these cars are, as Amy put it, "From a time when Volvos were allowed to not be the boxiest things on the road!"
New subscriber here! I own one of these and stumbled upon your video. The production value is incredible, well done and nice in depth look at the car. Thank you!
I gotta get me one of those roof racks, but not any roof rack with a classic look is hard to find for these cars.
Glad you are here! We love to deep dive into all the cars. Once you get a roof rack, then you have to go to IKEA!
In my mind the Volvo Amazon is the last truly great Volvo, i've got one and honestly it's remarkable how amazing it is to drive while it ALSO looks great!
It does still look great all these years later!
What beautiful Amazon, I love the color! My first car back in 1978 was a white '65 four-door that my grandfather (who was from Sweden) gave to my dad when he stopped driving, then my dad gave it to me when I started. I now have a '67 two-door that I bought in 2021, which I daily drive. I have done a lot of work on it but fortunately it has good paint and zero rust, being from Arizona. Bummer about your dash getting cut for the radio, Mine was the same, I bought a used, unmolested dash for it, looks so nice with an original radio in there. I noticed yours is missing the package shelf under the dash, mine was too. Used ones are usually pretty beat up but VP Autoparts sells a repair kit for them.
Thank you! What a fun daily driver!
Thanks for that! I hadn't realized VP Autoparts sold the trimmed cardboard panel for the parcel shelf before, though it shouldn't surprise me as I've bought a lot of parts for this car and the three other Volvos in the collection from them. I'd have to track down the metal support for the shelf but that should not be too hard to find. I've thought about replacing the dash, but decided it would make more sense if and when I hit the point there is any reason to do any further paintwork or rust repair on the car, as I would need to paint it to match the body. Right now, the rust on the car is really more cosmetic than structural and given how the car is now stored and driven, is unlikely to get much worse The underside is completely clean with no real rust, courtesy of being from an area where roads aren't salted in the winter, but we are from an area with a lot of rain for about half the year and this car was often used as a daily driver
And the Brits got the ribbon speedo right in the Austin America and MG1100 with a non angled end.
Adults…with legs! ❤
A novel concept!
Nice volvo..but surely you have coil springs in your car not leafs
Yup! I screwed up and knew better. One of the downsides of having as many cars as are in the collection is that it can be difficult to remember some of the specific details and in the moment of filming, my memory failed.
My 122s coupe has coils in the back not leaf springs. I was under the impression they all had coils?
You are right....
You are absolutely right and definitely an error on my part.
From when Volvos were really genuine cars, functional, robust, durable and no electronic trickery and I learned that 122s had optional overdrives..
The overdrives are also Laycock de Nomranvilles, with Volvo using both D and J types
The overdrive makes such a difference, too, it's really the icing on the proverbial Volvo cake. Thanks so much for watching this episode!
Brittish??
Swedish!!
