This can be any Volvo automobile ever built. Please feel free to add choices, though try to keep it to basic models (i.e. don't list the 850, the 850 T-5 and the 850R. One 850 is enough.)

I like the 1800 quite a bit, but I have to say V70 I... the lines are just right for me, and I don't really like the 'shoulder' of the V70 II style...

I think we forget how beautiful the great forebears of the iron badge of honour really were. Let us not forget the majesty that was embodied in the PVs of yore. The C70 may be pretty, yes, but it is still a distant reflection in a dull mirror to the beauty that was it's great grand sire the PV655 cabriolet.

The PV652 was quite a stately car in it's own right being the very distant precursor to the S80.

I speak not ill of the new cars, they are very beautiful. But I guess I'm a sucker for the oldies. I've never seen either in the steel, but perhaps some day.....

This is a trick question, right?

What's the difference between a V70 first series and an 850's body style?
