The number seventy-five in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 165. Some might say: "what??!!! … a 164 estate … Volvo never produced such a car!".
Well that is neither completely wrong nor right. Some of you might be lucky to catch a glimpse of this Volvo somewhere around the globe. But you will for sure find a few examples on the web. Here is a short background information: quote by Fredrik Nybard - the owner of a Volvo 165: The Volvo 164 was a step up for Volvo. Offering an official 165 estate would have made the 164 less prestigious and it would have made the production of further body forms §way more complicated. The production was based on the wheelbase length and the 164 was roughly 100 mm longer as the 140/145 so that the long straight six cylinder would fit.

Book:
Volvo 165 - drömmen om lyxkombin (Volvo 165 - the Dream of a Luxury Station Wagon) written by Fredrik Nyblad You can buy this book (124 pages) directly from the publisher Trafik-Nostalgiska Förlaget in Sweden. The official price are SEK 250 (€ 25.94 / $ 29.64 / £ 23.08) Volvo 165 – drömmen om lyxkombin Four years ago Matrix Scale Models announced the first r-t-r model of a Volvo 245 Transfer as a scale model. The first run was a blue painted version of Volvo's extended 245 estate. It took Matrix Scale Models quite some time to release a second livery of this rather unusual car. The second production run will reflect Volvo's stretched estate in the livery of a Taxi. The 1:43 scale model made out of resin will be finished in white and will feature a pretty exact copy of a Taxi sign on the roof. Well yes the Taxi sign looks a little oversized on the first photos of this new replica. The scale model features round headlamps. You will probably notice that the two pics in this post are showing the version with the small rectangular headlamps. Please have a look at the scanned catalog and you will see the version with the older round headlamps. Matrix Scale Models will offer their replica as 1:43 resin model. You can order your copy under item # MX12106-052. This will be a rather small and limited production batch so hurry if you wanna be sure to have at least one of these in your collection. ![]()
