I took her out to a local show. Attracted a lot of "Volvo folk" but no ribbons. That's OK, she's a winner to me.

Thank you for your kind comments. A lot of help from a lot of you for the last 10 yrs. went into it. Thanks! Maybe next week I'll take a picture from the back. It's less work and more ride now.
I have a plan to shoot a video driving down Natchez Trace Parkway when the fall leaves turn. Tbc...

That's a beautiful 164. Just like you, it took me a long time to restore my 1974 144, and almost all the help came from the brickboard.

It sure is nice to finally drive it more than working it. Your 164 is a winner in my eyes.

Oh my. The blue is so blue and lovely. My oh my.

Yeah, your 164 is truly a wonderful and gorgeous example.

The inline-six B30 with the two side draft carbs, the shiny-sparkly bright work all around, the white walls and shiny wheels, the blue. The blue in your image almost glows it's so blue.

The front door vent windows and the inset driving lamps where most North American 164s have the horn grilles for the horns.

Lovely. A blue ribbon for the blue!

I want a 164. Manual transmission with overdrive. All else can fall into place.

No! NO!!! I will NOT get back into 164's!! Aw, but they are so beautiful!!!!

Too much iron, too little time

It's just beautiful. You'd have gotten my vote for sure.

Only thing I'd do, were it mine... you have the late, wider wheels. If all four are 5.5", I'd do wider tires. 195/65-15 would work great, fill out the fenders a bit better, and I bet you can get them with white walls.. which I love!

Just a wonderful car. Thanks for sharing!
