NEW RELEASES |
You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released. |
The number forty-six in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 265 GLE estate. This model represents a car from model year 1982. It is painted black and features a beige interior. Editions Atlas is the first company who is offering a correct 1:43 scale model of the Volvo 265 estate. In the autumn of 1975 (for the 1976 model year in America), the 265 DL estate became available alongside the existing range, and this was the first production Volvo estate to be powered by a six-cylinder engine. The Volvo 240 and Volvo 260 share the same chassis and body. They are basically the same car but the 260 has more luxury items and the more powerful V6 engine. Depending on the year it is equipped with power mirrors, power windows, leather interior, lots of chrome on the outside, upscale sound system, mag wheels and other luxury items not found on the base Volvo 240. From 1975 to 1980 the car was available with a standard or automatic transmission. From 1981 only the automatic transmission was available. 35061 units of the Volvo 265 had been built between 1975 and 1985.

Judging from the photos this will be a very fine model. This collection is being better and better. The only thing that worries me is that there is only 14 models left (if 60 remains the total) and I have at least 20 on my wish list :-) counting some variations of those already published.So I will be both happy and sad when it ends.

Well you know guys that there have been recently a discussion on Facebook saying that it might be possible that the Volvo Collection may be increased once again resulting in a total of 75 models.

Volvo 265 was one of my "want to have" cars when I was a teenageboy back in the 1970's. It makes me mad because it from the beginning just were sold in the USA (like the 262 sedan).
