Audrain Auto Museum Cars and Coffee: Classic Saab and Volvo in Attendance!

While the Memorial Day car show was the Volvo's first show, I feel it got more appreciation at Cars and Coffee. Being that the community at this show was more diverse than the Memorial Day show, the Volvo was well received by other enthusiasts, and I even got to meet the owner of a 242 GT! His Volvo wasn't in attendance, but nonetheless, I was impressed to hear he owned one. I will definitely be returning plenty of times to meet and connect with more fellow car enthusiasts around Rhode Island and the Northeast. 

1993 Saab 900 S Convertible

This classic 900 was for sale! I believe the owner was asking a reasonable price, although I can't remember exactly what he was looking to get for it. Regardless, this car was mint, and appeared to be in great physical and mechanical condition, perfect for its next owner. It even had the five speed manual gear box. I know if I had the time and space, I'd be driving out of here with two cars!

1958 Volvo PV-444

Aside from my 240, this was the only other vintage Volvo at the show. There were some modern Volvos, such as a V70, which you can see in the background of the side photo, an XC70, and a V60. Volvo PV-Series cars aren't common in general, especially a PV-444. These were produced from 1944 to 1958, and were Volvo's first modern car. This would be the second of these cars I've seen, and this one is by far, the best looking example.
