This is no ordinary Volvo. It's a 1995 Volvo 960 Executive that has been stretched for added comfort and luxury, making it perfect for diplomatic use. Imagine cruising through the streets of Washington DC in this Swedish ambassador's chariot. It's a rare gem, and it's currently up for auction on Cars and Bids with no reserve. So, if you want a piece of automotive history, now's your chance.
Let's dive into the quirks and features of this unique Volvo. The stretch is subtle, mainly noticeable in the back with changes to the rear window and door length. Step inside, and you'll be greeted with a spacious and luxurious interior. The rear seats are supple and comfortable, perfect for the ambassador and their guest. And guess what? They're heated and reclining too, adding an extra touch of luxury. The center seat has been replaced with a leather armrest, and there's even a storage area for important documents. It's all about the details.
But it's not just about the comfort. The Volvo 960 Executive offers practicality as well. The rear window is massive, providing a panoramic view of the surroundings. And if the sun gets too intense, there's a rear sunshade to keep things cool. Inside, the interior is surprisingly factory-looking, thanks to the collaboration between Nilson and Volvo. It's a seamless integration that makes you feel like this car rolled off the production line this way.
Under the hood, you'll find a reliable 2.9L straight-six engine that may not be a powerhouse but will keep you going for years to come. It's a testament to Volvo's commitment to durability. The exterior design stays true to Volvo's signature boxy look, with a few subtle differences that only the keenest eye would notice. And let's not forget the headlight wipers, a safety feature that Volvo was known for back in the day.
Overall, this Volvo 960 Executive is a unique piece of automotive history. It's a luxurious and comfortable ride with a touch of Swedish elegance. If you're a fan of Volvo or simply appreciate rare and distinctive vehicles, this is your chance to own a piece of Swedish automotive heritage. So, don't miss out on the opportunity to bid on this one-of-a-kind Volvo on Cars and Bids.
