Volvo celebrates 60th anniversary of its Amazon car
The Volvo Amazon celebrates its 60th birthday this month. The classically-styled saloon car was built between 1956 and 1970, and got its name from the female warriors in Greek mythology.
The car was introduced in September 1956 at a launch event in the Swedish town of Orebro. The elegant design was a shock, as it looked nothing like what people had come to expect from Volvo.
