Volvo 240s in Newport - Spring 2023

1990 Volvo 240 DL

Here's a pretty road worn 240 sedan still in use. It reminds me much of my own, with its missing bumper trim and license plate illuminators that occasionally fall out of their socket. I really like how the owner has kept this car mostly stock, and is keeping the car's aged appearance. While the rims look aftermarket, I believe they are Volvo 940 rims that were rattle can painted black. I really like how they look, matched with the white paint. Of course, what old daily driven Volvo would be complete without the FCP Euro and IPD USA stickers somewhere on the back windows.

1989 Volvo 240 DL Estate

This is a prime example of a survivor. This Volvo 240 looks like it just drove around the world twice and then some! When I showed Sam the photos, he thought it was the evil twin of my 240, which I can't disagree with. Hopefully whoever owns this 240 plans on restoring it, as I believe it needs some love and care. It was parked at a service shop, so I'm hoping that's the case. I can do with the duct taped headlamps, but the rear bumper makes me cringe!
