    1967 VOLVO 1800 S Lot of (2) Genuine Vintage Ads ~ MSRP ,970 ~ FREE SHIPPING!
    1967 Volvo 1800 S lot of (2) original vintage advertisements.
    DESCRIPTION:
    If it didn’t cost so much and go so fast, we’d call it an economy car.
    With overdrive, the Volvo 1800S gets 27 miles to the gallon at 70 mph. And that isn't even what it was built to do.
    It was built to give you the pleasures of a true Gran Turismo car without giving you the headaches of a Gran Turismocar. The first headache you get from a true GT car is when you go to pay for it.
    You pay over ,000 if you want one of the well-known GT cars. On the other hand, you’ll pay only ,970* for the less well-known Volvo 1800S.
    To quote Road & Track magazine, here’s what you’ll get for ,970, "
    ... a very civilized touring car for people who want to travel rapidly in
    style, a Gran Turismo car of the type much in the news these days — but at a price many people who cannot afford a Ferrari or an Aston Martin will be able to pay.”
    The second headache you get from a GT car is when you go to drive it. You generally can’t drive it long between tune-ups.
    Which means you either turn mechanic or turn your money over to one.
    The 1800S requires that you do neither. As Sports Car Graphic magazine wrote, "... Perhaps the foremost bit of education we acquired was learning that the Volvo B-18 engine is one of the most, if not THE most, reliable, rugged and un-
    breakable car engines being built today." The third headache you get from a Gran Turismo car is caused by tension. It comes from having all that power under the hood and not being able to use it because of speed-limits.
    The 1800S solves that too. It won’t do 160 mph like the expensive GT cars.
    Its top speed is 110 mph. So the urge to "see what it’ll do" isn’t nearly so great.
    Of course, we’d be kidding ourselves if we tried to convince you the 1800S has it over the more expensive GT cars in every respect. There are some things a ,000 car will give you that an 1800S won’t. But ,000 worth…?
    It’s sort of a souped-down Ferrari.
    The Volvo 1800S will do in fourth what a Ferrari does in third. About 105 miles an hour. Which, unless you’re insane, is fast enough.
    And while the 1800S may not offer you the sheer speed of an expensive GT car, it does offer you the same kind of styling and comfort.
    It also offers you something else. The economy and dependability of a Volvo.
    In short, the Volvo 1800S is half souped-down Ferrari, half jazzed-up Volvo.
    If you can’t afford ,000 for the cream of the GT cars, give us ,970 and we'll sell you the half and half.
