Model history
The Volvo P121, also known as the "Amazon", was built from 1956 and was characterized by its elegant, American-inspired design with clear lines and a striking front end. Volvo was one of the first manufacturers to use 3-point safety belts as standard on the front seats of the P121, and the Amazon was powered by a robust four-cylinder engine, which produced 68 hp in the 1965 version with the B18 engine - enough for comfortable and reliable travel. Thanks to its high-quality workmanship and solid technology, the P121 was considered virtually indestructible.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der Amazon wurde im Herbst 1956 präsentiert. Er hatte den wassergekühlten Frontmotor und das Fahrwerk des PV 544 mit dem gleichen Radstand und einzeln an doppelten, ungleich langen Querlenkern aufgehängten Vorderrädern, Gemmer-Lenkung, einer angetriebenen starren Hinterachse an vier Längslenkern und Panhardstab sowie Schraubenfedern und Teleskopstoßdämpfern an allen Rädern. Die damals moderne Pontonform der Karosserie wurde in der neuen Designabteilung von Volvo von dem Schweden Jan Wilsgaard gestaltet, der sich am italienischen Alfa Romeo 1900 orientierte. Die stark gewölbte Rückscheibe ermöglichte zusammen mit den zierlichen Dachpfosten eine gute Rundumsicht. Der ab 1962 gebaute Kombi hatte eine geteilte Heckklappe, deren untere Hälfte nach hinten geklappt wurde, was die Beladung erleichterte. LG Tom
