1974 Volvo 164 E review from North America
"A Volvo Classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning has run out after 30 years.
The car burns a little oil.
General comments?
An ultra luxurious car. It feels like a Mercedes, and goes like a BMW.
An excellent highway cruiser, 3200lbs hold you to the road.
175 horsepower pushes you through the corners, and 178ft/lbs of torque pulls you up any hill without a downshift.
