| 1935 Volvo P36 Carioca - RE12 DISCONTINUED!
Sorry, Retired & Sold Out!
These were the days when the Volvo company, along with a few American manufacturers, tried to get too much ahead of their time. They released an automobile with a futuristic body styling that did not go down well with the public. The mechanics under the stylish body were old and reliable but that did not help Volvo to sell the concept. Only 500 were made plus one convertible.NOW DISCONTINUED, REPLACED BY RE12A

| 1947 Volvo Carioca Convertible - RE16 DISCONTINUED!
Sorry, Retired & Sold Out!
Specially ordered by Mr Gahm, a wealthy leather merchant, this one-off is a good example of the expensive automobiles used by the Swedish jet set in the 30s. Despite its streamlined styling it used old mechanical components. More sophisticated than sporty, this example of pre-war style deserves a place in our range.
