Wheels I'd guess 16, maybe 17, yea.

If there's a more perfect classic Volvo out there, I haven't seen it.


This is your attitude when you drive something this awesome. It's 100% normal and expected behavior.

If you enlarge it a lot (I did), you see some rust at the bottom of rear fender.
I am still jealous.
