1978 Volvo 245. In Russia since 1993. B21A engine with 310 000 km

since 2002 when it was repainted, my Volvo looks like this

notice, I still have Soviet license plates. this license series had been issued in USSR in the period 1980-1993. it is called 'post-olympic' series because the first plates like mine were issued after Olympic games in Moscow in 1980. before 1980 everybody had black license like on my lada 011. soviet plates are now very rare, most of the cars have new Russian Federation plate numbers because they were registered or re-registered after 1993

and the interior shot: nothing special, I will keep the dashboard stock. Notice: the 1978 "Volvo 4 stereo" still works:)

And here is me, in the garage during the winter of 2002. (no turnsignal lence:))

Look at the door window frame: I had them painted black in 2002. I also used to have plastic mirrors painted white. In 2003 I decided to get a classic look back(see upper pictures).
Now I added the foglights. 78Volvo245L's 1978 Volvo 200-Series

I surely love this wagon of yours. Classic model and shape. Keep it up.

Hi! Great Volvo. Here these cars have been given the nickname "Bricks" because of their un-aerodynamic shape and excessive weight. I find it interesting that your car has some features that older models AND later models had here in the US. The grill and dash are "newer" styles, while the tail lights, head lights, and wheels are "earlier" styles. Check out my Volvo and compare.... Nice "brick" and great photos!
