1992 Volvo 240 Estate: A Manual 240 Wagon in Newport!

Despite the New York plates, this 240 was spotted in Newport on Broadway Street, which is home to many shops and restaurants, and is a fun street to walk down in general. There are many sights to see, and occasionally a classic like this one will be street parked.

Before you skip this entry for the next one, there's something you ought to know about this Volvo! This one is a pretty unique car, being a wagon with a manual transmission! That alone is a pretty rare spec, and a very desirable one as well among Volvo enthusiasts. 

It's pretty common to see a 240 wagon with a manual swap, which makes the original 240 wagons even more rare. That could be the case with this car, unless it too recieved manual swap from another car. This 240 seems pretty original to me, so I assume that it is a true factory spec car, but I could always be wrong. And before you ask, I'm not swapping my transmission for a manual!
