Volvo Celebrates Classic P1800's 50th Birthday
Turning 50 this year, the Volvo P1800 has come a long way for a car that was never even intended for mass production. Launched in 1961, originally intended for a niche market, the P1800 exceeded expectations and became known as the 'most internationally renowned car ever.' The sporty model can partly attribute its fame to the British television series "The Saint" that starred Roger Moore alongside the iconic Volvo.
