Suddenly it's Sweden 1987! 1972 Volvo 1800ES and 1986 Volvo 240GL

Only 8,077 copies of the Volvo 1800ES were ever built, and most of them seem to have been sold in Seattle. I've spotted five to date, the four pictured below and a white one in Ballard I'm still hoping to photograph.

Breaking Bad fans will note this '86 Volvo 240GL is the same car Walter White stole for his drive from New England to New Mexico.

1972 Volvo 1800ES

I'd never heard of this car, much less seen one before moving to Seattle. Yet I've seen more than one of these in the city. The final edition of Volvo's classic P1800 series, only 8,077 Volvo 1800ES models were built between 1972-3.
