Hi everyone,

I am an assistant auto editor at Popular Mechanics magazine, and we are looking for a 1982-1993 Volvo 240 Wagon or Sedan to photograph for an upcoming story. The car needs to be stock and in very good condition. The photo shoot will take place on the weekend of July 23rd and 24th in Atlantic Highlands, NJ, so the owner would most likely need to live on the East Coast. The shoot and possible video should only take about two hours. We cannot compensate you, but you'll get your car in the magazine and it should be a fun experience. If interested, please contact me at adelcolle@hearst.com to send some photos and answer some follow-up questions. Please also feel free to repost this request in other applicable threads and forums.

Thanks,

Andrew Del-Colle

I'm not in the area, but if I were... I'd like to know the purpose of the request.

A quick google search of your email shows that you are posting very similar requests to other discussion boards, the likes of which included BMW E30, Ferrari 328, Porsche 944, Mercedes E-class, Miata, Cadillac DeVille...

Not exactly what I would consider comparable vehicles.

If this is legit, please... clarify.

Not accusing, just saying. Hearst.com, of course, looks fine

[edit] Sorry George.. meant this as a reply to the original poster, but you know that :)

Funny, I see a common thread...they are icons of one sort or another.

Good point...
