ROADSIDE FIND: RULE THE ROADS LIKE A SCANDINAVIAN PIMP IN THIS VOLVO LIMO!


ROADSIDE FIND: RULE THE ROADS LIKE A SCANDINAVIAN PIMP IN THIS VOLVO LIMO!

While cruising the local byways last with with my boys, Jack blurted out, “Dad LIMO!” He’s three, so seeing a stretched out car or truck is big stuff to him. Anyway, I looked over expecting to see a stupid looking H2, Navigator, long Caddy, Lincoln, or any other normal kind of limo. Instead I was greeted by the sight of this bizarre stretch Volvo! The car was for sale at a Volvo shop for the price of $7500.

We’re going to guess the car sports a turbocharged inline five cylinder engine like most of the boxy Volvos of this era did. We’re also going to guess that this car was named, safest limo in its class because these cars were capable of being driven off parking garage roofs, off cliffs, and into walls while protecting their occupants. At least they did on TV.

For the yuppie on the go, maybe there’s a bag style cell phone in the passenger area. The windows were too darkly tinted to get a good look at the living quarters of the car but up front where the driver would ply his trade, things were neat as a pin. The seats barely showed any evidence of being used.

We’re not sure who would really be interested in this thing. It is definitely the most geek-tastic limo we have ever laid eyes on and since boxy Volvos are now mostly in the hands of aging yuppie offspring now, the car is stuck in a strange level of coolness purgatory. In 20 years this baby would be fun to roll around in. Now it would just be kind of weird.

Hey, we know! The guys at the local Volvo dealer should buy it, load up the back with gloating sales people and cruise by the Saab dealership yelling Swedish insults at them! Either that or pretend like you are the king of Sweden. Wait…there is a king of Sweden, right?

Volvo limo!

    Brian, I think this limo has the 204 hp 3 liter straight six engine!

    The son to the Swedish king, Prince Philip is a racedriver in Porsche Carrera Cup.

    …vet du det i din stora feta Svenska hjärta!

    Translated: you want this limousine, you know it in your big fat Swedish heart!

    As do I. But maybe wait another decade and change and find a Peugeot 607 limo to import instead…
