Model history

The Volvo P1800 ES Overdrive, also known as the Snow White Coffin, is a two-door coupé that was produced by Volvo from 1971 to 1973. It is based on the classic Volvo P1800, a sports car that was produced between 1961 and 1973. The P1800 ES was created to make the P1800 more appealing to a wider audience. The innovative design not only offered more comfort compared to the P1800, but also retained the impressive performance and precise handling of its predecessor. The nickname Snow White's Coffin was given to the Volvo P1800 ES due to its generous glazing and sleek, elegant shape.
