1-of-1 165 wagon

Post by foggydogg »

This story from Down Under starts with a brief overview of early Volvos in country.
" Meanwhile... the first 144 was imported into the country. It was ordered in 1967 by businessman Eric Nordling to be delivered with 36
ignition keys. When asked why 36, he replied that his wife had a habit of losing her keys and that he wanted a one for each of her 36
handbags. Volvo complied."
