    This is a mid-1960's Volvo Coupe, which I photographed at the 1971 SA F1 GP meeting.

    Chaswin, I really like these - the shape is/was an American Ford / Chev of the late 1930's in scaled down form - very strong mechanicals, I understand, known as the PV544 - as was the later " Amazon " of the late 1960's.
    " Volvo Amazon was a mid-sized car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 1956 to 1970 " - I note that the P122 Amazon was assembled in Durban South Africa.

    Enjoying your other photos too - especially the South Africans car that are unique " Perana " etc..
    Thanks for sharing.
