Volvo 66 1975-1980

[Duell]

In 1972, Volvo purchased one-third of DAF Car BV in the Netherlands and thus established itself in the small-car segment where it had not previously been represented. In the mid-1970s, additional holdings in DAF Car BV were purchased and the company was re-organised to create Volvo Car BV.

The first car from Volvo Car BV to bear the Volvo name was the Volvo 66. This was a development of the previous DAF 66 model.

The Volvo 66 was available in two versions, a 2-door saloon and a 3-door estate. These cars had rear-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox in the form of continuously variable transmission, CVT.

I've never seen this car.

It looks like it's Eastern European or something, but it's still cool.

Nice pictures.

Post #3, third picture - does anyone else see the Trabant in there?!? A car I imagine Volvo regret adding their badge to.
