I recently given a nice 740, the same year as "Ugly Betty". It even has !heat! which is pretty essential when it is -14F.
When I received the car it had a broken front turn signal lens on the driver's side.
I was so happy to have a car with heat, and a nice radio with no coathanger antenna and it doesn't have the side bashed in! I parked it the church parking lot.
I heard a loud noise of a collision where my car was parked. I put on a coat and ran out to my car and there was a young Somalian woman in native dress in
driving a Honda Civic backing out to the space between my 740 and my 122 wagon. I confronted her; and she didn't speak much english, especially in this case. I have no idea why she parked between my 2 Volvo when the entire parking lot was free. She denied hitting my care, and I inspected it and saw no damage Only a couple of days later when I used my car, did I find a couple of pieces of amber plastic in the parking lot. Upon more careful inspection I noticed she had bashed out the front of the lens. I missed it, because I was looking at the side of the car. She looked quite frightened. I was wondering what would happen to her if her husband knew she had done this.
So, now I am looking for a lens on the passenger side. I need a lens on the driver's side too, but I could take that off "Ugly Betty".
Thought I would call Strandburg's I tried calling Pick-n-Pull, but there is none in my area, and one has to visit them in person.
So, anyone have turn signal lens, either side for an '89 740? The car has been driven with one lens bro9ken, but I feel that I am pushing my luck driving with both of them out!
At least this woman didn't hurt my 122!
To my benefactor who gave me the car; I think out have figured out that you forgot your bottle of Frexinet. I didn't see it on the floor of the back seat until it burst. Luckily there wern't to many tiny glass shards, so it is no big deal. I think I have the only "89 Volvo in town that smells like a New Year's party hosted by Golden Retrievers!
