Bob,

At the time my father was GM of Volvoville on Long Island. I was 13 years old. I do remember the trucks loaded with P210's still coming in and wondering how they could still be in demand. Strange as it sounds, despite my nearly single-minded interest in F1 and 2 seaters, those P210's made a very lasting impression on me. That's the reason I have one now.

I don't remember any problems with selling them and they never stayed on the lot for long. In fact, I don't remember seeing them in the 'front line' at all. I believe they were all sold on or before arrival.

For what it's worth, Volvo continued the P210 through the 1968 model year in Sweden, outfitted with the B20. I've often wondered if the Duett I have now crossed my father's lot. Not unlikely since my car was an East coast car originally and Volvoville was a high volume dealership. If anyone knows of a way I can trace the dealership of original sale, I'd appreciate the lead.

KaiS
'67 Duett
