Volvo hasn't made a P1800 since 1962. In 1963 they changed the model designation to 1800S. In 1970 they changed it again to 1800E. These were all 2-door coupes. In 1972 they came out with the "sportwagon" and called it the 1800ES which is the light blue car you have pictured on your Facebook page. #-o

I was going to say "You worked on a 1970 1800ES? Wow, that car was, like 2 whole years ahead of it's time!".
