Just thought it was worth mentioning that the designer of the Amazon and several other Volvo models passed away just over a week ago on 6th August. He was born in Brooklyn in 1930 and designed Volvo models right up to the 850.

Matt Barmann also posted the link to wiki on Volvo Amazon. So he was an American really. Amazing the Amazon didn't have 14 inch fins and bullet tail lights.

Thanks - that's a very comprehensive link. He was very talented and managed to remain contemporary and interesting. I love the U.S. references of the Amazon and even though I wasn't a big fan of the 740/760, I loved the 850 so I guess I'd caught up at that stage.
