DESCRIPTION:
OF ALL THE THINKING THAT WENT INTO VOLVO, THIS IS WHAT WE THOUGHT OF MOST.
These days, you find a lot of car makers copying each other's designs.
In building a Volvo, we're more influenced by yours.
Man takes in seven quarts of air per minute -
Volvo's 12-outlet ventilation
system
keeps
it
continuously
fresh.
On a Volvo, the width of each front roof is less than the normal distance between human eyes.
So eyes see around it.
Human hand more accurote than human foot. So Volvo puts headlight dimmer switch on steering column instead of floor.
To protect your body, Volvo's body has crumple zones to absorb impact of collision before it reaches passenger compartment.
To reduce muscle tension, Volvo's footrest keeps left foot on same plane as right.
Volvo's bucket seats adjust in eight different directions
to satisfy dimensional requirements of 97 % of adult population.
Sitting puts more pressure on spinal discs than standing.
To relieve pressure,
Volvo has adjustable lumbar support for small of back.
Before the average driver can move his foot from the gas pedal to the brake in a panic situation, a car will travel 56 feet (at 55m.p.h.) So Volvo puts power disc brakes on four wheels, not just two.
VOLVO. THE CAR FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU CAN
’
T AFFORA A VOLVO 164 OR A MERCEDES BENZ?
The Volvo 164 and Mercedes are both lavishly endowed with the comforts and refinements people of means expect in a luxury car.
Unfortunately for some people, however, both cars are also endowed with stiff price tags.
Many of these people will find a consoling alternative in the Volvo 240. A car which shares many features with one, or both, of the higher-priced cars.
For example, inside the Volvo 240, you sit on infinitely adjustable bucket seats. And while they may not be upholstered in leather like those in the Volvo 164, they do have adjustable lumbar supports for the small of your back.
The air around you is circulated by Volvo's 12-outlet heating and ventilation system. The glass around you is tinted. And kept clear by front, rear and front side window defoggers.
For performance and handling, there's fuel injection, 4-wheel power disc brakes, steel-belted radials and rack and pinion steering.
It’s all standard on the Volvo 240. And if you want to exceed the standard, you can always add air conditioning, or power-assisted steering with automatic transmission.
If you think about it, all this luxury is enough to make you forget that in buying a Volvo 240, you're actually doing something very practical and down to earth.
Saving money.
SHOULD A CAR WITH A REPUTATION FOR BEING SO SAFE GO SO FAST?
Over the years,Volvo has become the very symbol of the safe, sane automobile, designed for people with a rational view of life.
But anyone who slides behind the wheel of a 1976 Volvo 240 may discover it’s something more.
As Road Test magazine has put it: “This is one fun car to drive.”
This year, Volvo has introduced a new fuel-injected, overhead cam 4-cylinder engine. It has extremely fast pickup in the 20-55 m.p.h. range where most serious driving is done.
In a comparison of passing times, a Volvo 242 with a 4-cylinder engine was faster than a Mercedes 280 with a six.
Volvo also gives you rack and pinion steering to help you take life’s curves. And a spring-strut front suspension designed to keep the car steady and level even if you take them fast. You get 4-wheel power disc brakes. And you can order a 4-speed manual transmission with electrically-operated overdrive (which lets you flip in and out of 5th gear with a simple flick of your finger).
All of which does, indeed, make Volvo a delight to drive. But then again, we think the faster a car responds and the better it handles, the safer it will be.
So while many of these new performance features are nice to have when you want them, they’re even nicer to have when you need them.
VOLVO - The car for people who think.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD A SALESMAN TALK ABOUT SAFETY?
You'll hear a lot of gushing about gas economy. And expansive talk about smaller-size cars. But rarely will you hear the man who’s trying to sell you, tell you what happened when his car was test-crashed into a barrier.
But in our showroom, you will.
Our people sell Volvos and their living is based in good measure on explaining to people like yourself the protection built into every Volvo they show you.
So your salesman will explain why Volvos come with four, not two, power disc brakes. And how the two independent braking circuits each work on a total of three wheels. He’ll tell you the roof pillars have supported a weight of seven tons. (Turn that over in your mind.) And why the front and rear ends are designed to crumple rather than remain inflexible under heavy impact.
He’ll even point out a little thing like the defoggers/defrosters that help clear the front side windows. Because when you have traffic thundering to the right and the left of you, it isn’t a little thing.
So whether you come in to inspect the luxurious new Volvo 260 series or one of the new 240s, he has a lot of explaining to do. And it won’t hurt you to listen.
