Classy.

Looks quite good, somehow better (with the top down anyway) than one with a roof.
And an 81 Volvo would be mega quality.

Except for the wiring harness with low-grade insulation that breaks down after 15 years.

Robust

Jesus... Volvo didn't change their look for 20 years.

Literally true, nearly. The 200 series went on with nothing more than modest styling updates from time to time over a 19 year run.
RodCherokee@reddit
Way before the 120 series didn’t change from 1954 to 1970.

Gorgeous. Never seen one in the US.

One of the managers my father had at Volvo owned a convertible 262C. It looked great, but could have used more reinforcements after they cut the roof off as it didn't really like railroad crossings and big bumps

I've seen this car in real. It's massive for european standards.

Great times when Volvo was Swedish car

Yes please.
wasabiplz@reddit
Definitely desirable ‼️

Looks more like a Chrysler LeBaron than an actual LeBaron does.
Except I want this.

The leather looks even richer, and somehow more, Corinthian.

Freaking gorgeous!
