1975 Volvo 240 Series

The 1975 Volvo 240 Series - Two and four door sedans. And a station wagon. They represent Volvo's greatest investment in new features and modifications to enhance safety, strength, durability and economy. And quality. The innovation in their design is represented by their new product designation: Volvo 240 Series. We haven't changed the designation completely, however, because this new generation still contains the best of Volvo's well known features such as: the steel safety cage surrounding the passenger area, the energy absorbing front and rear ends, the triangle-split dual braking system, the thorough rust-proofing (even better this year), the safer fuel tank location, the reliable B20 engine.
But the rest, and the most is new: • an entirely new design from the windshield forward a new front suspension of spring strut type an extensively improved rear suspension system a new type of steering gear - rack and pinion Power assisted steering in some models 1 4" wheels and steel belted radial ply tires Fuel injection standard for all models a more functional and elegant designed dashboard with complete instrumentation including tachometer Newly designed front seats which are even safer and more comfortable
The experience gained from the VESC project has been extensively used in the engineering features of these new cars. The Volvo 240 Series is made up of three models - Volvo 242 DL, 244 DL, 245 DL. You will note that the term "De Luxe" is no longer used but rather they letters "DL". This new Volvo programme is aimed at the modern car buyer who places safety and real comfort at the head of his list, - these are customers who make sure that the car they buy is economical to run, reliable to use and a pleasure to own. Volvo's new 240 Series has been created to meet the requirements of the sensible car buyer - down to the smallest detail.
