Volvo 120 Amazon i P1800: książki - historia i technika

Volvo Amazon - The Complete Story

In 1956, a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was presented. It became known as the Amazon in Sweden and the 121 and 122S in export markets, the latter denoting a more sporty derivative.
However, despite its substantial appearance, all Amazons were surprisingly fleet of foot - this was one of the most sporty European saloons of the 1960s. With its elegant, timeless styling the Amazon broke new ground for Volvo - and for passenger cars as a whole.

Features of this book:
- Includes the history of Volvo before and after the Amazon
