DESCRIPTION:
IT SHOULDN
’
T TAKE AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO MAKE CARS SAFE.
Volvo was committed to safety long before it became mandatory.
In 1956, for example, we installed padded dashboards: 12 years before the government insisted on them.
In 1959, Volvo became the first mass-produced car in the world with safety belts as standard equipment. Nine years later all cars had safety belts, inspired by Federal regulations.
We don't just settle for the legal minimum, either:
The law says all cars must have two brake circuits. Volvos have two triangular circuits, each controlling three wheels. So if one circuit fails, you still have about 80% of your braking power.
Volvos also have many safety features not required by law:
Like front and rear ends which absorb the impact of collisions. Four-wheel disc brakes with a pressure-proportioning valve to reduce the chances of rear-wheel lock-up. Childproof rear doors. Rear window defrosters.
Now who would you rather buy a car from?
A company that builds a safe car because someone else made them do it?
Or a company that builds a safe car because their conscience made them do it?
INSIDE EVERY VOLVO COMES THIS BIG COMFORTABLE CAR.
A Volvo doesn't look big from the outside. But when you get inside, it grows on you.
Sit in the front seats. You have more room to stretch your legs than you do in a Cadillac DeVille.
When you plop down in the back seat, you'll experience the strange sensation of not having your knees scrunched up against the front seat. Volvo has more rear seat legroom than a Buick Electra.
Poke around the trunk. You'll discover it’s bigger than a Lincoln Continental's.
On long trips, you'll also be eternally grateful for Volvo's fully-reclining bucket seats. They have an adjustable lumbar support to make the seat backs firmer or softer.
One thing that's not soft about a Volvo is the body construction. It's so strong you can stack seven Volvos on top of each other without squashing the one on the bottom. Our body is also protected by six coats of primer and paint. And two different undercoatings.
We don't want your enjoyment of our inside to be spoiled by the disintegration of our outside.
THE KIND OF CAR EVERYONE’S TRYING TO BUILD.
For years, car makers held one truth to be self-evident; give people what they want and sell a lot of cars.
They reaped rich rewards from fins, dual headlights and vinyl roofs. Because that's what people wanted.
But at Volvo, we’ve never gone in for gimmicks. We've always tried to give people what we think they need in a car.
And a funny thing has happened. The kind of car people want has become precisely the kind of car we’ve thought they needed all along.
A car you can live with. A lot of manufacturers are starting to feed people’s desire to own safer cars. Instead of stylish hardtops, they’re starting to build something called a ’pillared hardtop'! Which is a fancy name for a sedan. At Volvo, we’ve never built a hardtop. We’ve always built sedans because we think they’re stronger and safer.
But it takes more than a strong roof to make a safe car. It takes a total commitment by the manufacturer. Ours led Volvo to become the first mass produced car in the world to have three-point scat belts as standard equipment.
In 1966, we started building cars with energy absorbing front and rear ends, designed to absorb impact instead of transmitting it to the passenger compartment in case of a collision. In 1969, we made an electric rear window defroster and head restraints standard.
Back then, some of our competitors might have thought that we should have been committed for placing so much emphasis on safety. But time has proved us right.
A car that gives you room without taking up much. Smaller, more maneuverable cars are in demand. The number of cars Volvo’s size has doubled in the last five years. And a lot of them are cheaper than Volvo. But you may pay the price inside. Where they may not be Volvo’s size at all.
Volvo will accommodate drivers up to six six-and-a-half. Comfortably. On fully-reclining bucket scats that have a built-in lumbar support to make the seat backs firmer or softer.
In back, there’s room for three adults. And our trunk is bigger than those in a lot of ‘big' cars!
A car that goes. To relieve human suffering, cars are being built to help clean up the air we breathe. As a result, their performance has suffered.
But with roads becoming increasingly congested, people, more than ever, want responsive engines that’ll get them out into onrushing traffic in a hurry.
In an effort to give ’em what they want, it’s rumored that a major manufacturer is switching some of his engines to fuel injection next year
Volvo has it now.
Volvo also has the jump on most cars in an area directly associated with going. Stopping.
A car that stops. Disc brakes are the rage. They’re new on a lot of cars this year. Two disc brakes, that is. Volvo is one of the few manufacturers that puts power disc brakes on all four wheels.
A dual-circuit braking system with three wheels on each circuit is also standard on Volvo (if one circuit fails, you still have about 80 percent of your braking power).
As is a rear-wheel anti-locking device designed to keep the back of our car from trading places with the front during a panic stop.
A car that’s built to take it. Some manufacturers who used to talk about sleek lines are now talking about unitized body construction. Others about rustproofing.
At Volvo, building a car to withstand the ravages of time has always been a major concern. Our body is welded together into one solid piece. So it’ll stay in one piece. It’s protected with six coats of rustproofing, primer and paint. And two different undercoatings.
Our engine comes prepared for the worst, too. Before we put it into production, we put it to the test: running it the equivalent of 10,000 miles at full throttle without a break. It didn’t break.
We spent five years designing, testing and building the Volvo 144. And we’ve made improvements every year since introducing it in 1966.
So you see. you just don't build a car like Volvo
overnight.
No matter how hard you try.
