Upcoming models of the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas

12/23/2014

Also wondering which upcoming models will be available from the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas? I'm pretty sure that you are. The manager who is responsible for the Volvo Collection has recently revealed some photos as well as a few hints of what will await you in 2015.

51: rally car
52: C70 convertible
53: 66 Sedan
54: 264 TE Landaulet
55: inter-war model
56: really interesting and never seen in this scale emergency model
57: one of the first Volvo sedan
58: more modern but still classic estate
59: beloved and asked off road of the fifties
60: a prototype, never seen as model and unfortunately disappeared (destroyed) in reality, the big surprise for the last model of this collection (for now), a real highlight to thanks all the customers

I hope you will enjoy Editions Atlas choice for the last ten models of their Volvo Collection. Have you been able to find out which models are described in the above list?

Nota : The above photos show pre-production prototype models = some changes may be done before final manufacturing !!

Unbelievable! I am completely speechless :)
On the other hand I am a little disappointed when you know the rest of the models, is no longer as exciting to wait for the new model.
Model number 59 is definitely the TP21, but I wonder what that last prototype could be? Venus Bilo, perhaps?
I am a little sad, if these are the last models what Editions Atlas offers.
Let's hope that next summer will become even more models for this great series!
And a merry Christmas to all !

Is the 264 TE Landaulet the same als the Matrix one? Same moulds? Same manufacturier?

Dear amazon65,

The upcoming Volvo 264 TE Landaulet is an individual and totally new tooled mold. The model will be manufactured by Ixo and will be a diecast scale model whereas the one by Matrix is made by a different company and is made out of resin.

It is of course a surprising and unexpected coincidence that two companies offer in a time-frame of a couple of months a model which has never been offered before.

well, nr 60 might be the Philip then? that would be awesome. and if 59 is a Sugga then i'd be even happier!

Amazon65

12/24/2014 02:23:13 am

Bjorn, according previous messages the #60 is going to be a 'protoype, never seen as a model before'. The Philip however has already been manafactured by Robeddie in three colour versions. My bet is still the Venus Bilo!

Bjorn

12/24/2014 03:41:30 am

ah yes you are right. well the Venus Bilo would be even better!

I guesss the #55 could possible be a PV650, a PV36 or a TR670.
The #57 could be the closed version of the OV4.
Just guessing and hoping...

Mr. Atlas link

12/27/2014 03:25:53 am

Yes Amazon, you're in the good way...

If the 264 te landaulet is a 1981 -- model the bumper must to be all black,if the model is a -- 1980 the side mark are wrong !!

Michelle

12/24/2014 06:52:56 am

Dear Renato,

As far as I know the 264 TE Landaulet represents the car from 1982.

Do you have any precise info's (photos, blueprints, ...) regarding eventual differences between the existing cars?

renato

12/24/2014 01:23:14 pm

Hi Michelle,
ok for 1982 model year,but the bumper are wrong ! They were all in plastic black and not chromed like the photo show .

Michelle

12/24/2014 01:46:33 pm

Dear Renato,

Yes indeed. You're right.

Well I will check with Mr Atlas to get the bumpers changed and corrected before this scale model will go into final manufacturing.

Thank you so much for your excellent hawk eyes as well as your advice on this model.

Mr. Atlas link

12/27/2014 03:32:26 am

Dear Renato, Dear Michelle,

on the picture we have (from the Museum in Berlin) it has some chrome on the bumper, maybe on our the chrome is a little too "fat", but technically we can't do such a thin chrome line as on the real car.

We already ask to change that, the model on the picture is a handmade prototype, they will do as thin as possible in the mass production.

Hi
The Volvo taxi from 40th to 50th the "spetsnose" it´s missing of the hole range of volvo historic production.
I like we have to many modern cars but if TP21 comes instead we can forget the "spetsnose" for me absolutely the TP21 must be in the Collection, I hope I hope so much

Michelle

12/25/2014 03:01:08 am

Hej Ulf,

I can confirm you that the TP21 has made it into the Volvo Collection as number 59.

Anders

12/25/2014 05:00:48 am

It seems like you forgot nr.51. The rallycar I was realy exited when i saw that one! (remind me when i started my rally carrier in a simular car). Can we hope for more motorsportscars in the future?
I have suggestions for a hole Collection;-)

Mr. Atlas link

12/27/2014 08:11:32 am

Yes, you're right Anders, nr. 51 is the 142 RAC Rally 1974, Walfridsson/Jensen.

And a Monte-Carlo Rally collection with nordic cars or drivers will be launch soon in Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark but not only Volvo...

Anders

12/27/2014 11:56:15 am

Looking forward to that Collection to!
Thanks for all nice cars you have give us so far, and the ones to come!

This all looks very interesting - and it seems to me that the "scope" of the collection is being widened somewhat. That particularly makes me hope that the number of models will be increased once again beyond 60. Come on now - 80? Please! ;)

Mr. Atlas link

12/27/2014 08:16:26 am

I hope it too (but 15 more, so 75)... but for now the decision is to stay at 60 (which is already one of the longer Atlas Model car collection)...

As the Volvo collection now launched also in Germany and French speaking countries, I hope that the success will be good enough there to continue up to 60.

Lars Vermundsberget

12/30/2014 02:54:27 pm

What's wrong with 80? :p All right, let's ask for 75 now for the upcoming few months. Then, in a year or so, we'll start asking for 90. :)

Lars Vermundsberget

12/25/2014 03:04:14 pm

BTW: The "more modern but still classic estate" would have to be a 700-900, right?

Mr. Atlas link

12/27/2014 03:24:27 am

Yes Lars, you're right ;-)

Amazon65

12/27/2014 03:56:06 am

So the last mystery model is #56: the never seen before emergency model... Police, ambulance or fire brigade... That's the question...

volworine

12/27/2014 07:48:09 am

Well, Amazon65, we know that the 240 SE Estate was the last police car in this series so the police car it can not be.
Check out this link.

Mr. Atlas link

12/27/2014 07:57:59 am

And for this one we create a new mould... it won't be a new decoration of an existing one ;-)

Michelle

12/27/2014 03:01:01 pm

I guess it will be a big surprise for most of the Volvo fans.

volworine

12/27/2014 04:00:34 pm

How many fire engines Volvo has done? Most of them are trucks. Comes to mind only the L3314, C202 and C303, but I think that is highly unlikely that this would be a scale model of any of these.
I bet my money that it is an ambulance.
I think that it is not the 200-series model, but something much older.
PV650 / 800 ? Even close?

Bjorn

12/29/2014 01:55:43 am

a Laplander would be awesome but you're right, it would be unlikely...

Ulf Carlsson

12/28/2014 01:28:20 pm

Volworine
I will hope you are on the right way, for me some models are missing between Jacob-to Carioca, an ambulance on 650 is very very welcome it´s complete the collection, of the earlier Volvo.

12/29/2014 09:14:56 am

wanneer word nr 53 de volvo 66 sedan precies verwacht ?

Michelle

12/31/2014 09:29:05 am

Dear Frans,
It depends on when you have subscribed to the collection.
If you have been among the first customers when the Volvo Collection has been released you will get it probably next spring.

Ulf Carlsson

12/31/2014 02:02:22 am

Nr:56 can be an ambulance on the Volvo Express, I have seen I think IXO has done it and sold it under IXO.
A new mould for us Volvofan cost too much, perhaps will use an exist mould-model.

Michelle

12/31/2014 09:25:27 am

NO it ain't another Volvo Express version.
It is a totally new tooled mold.
The model has once been hand-crafted in a very small run and scale back in the 1990's.

Amazon65

12/31/2014 05:21:07 am

Frans: that depends on when you subscribed your service on the Volvo collection. At this moment we are at #39 in the case when you're started from the very beginning.

Lars Vermundsberget

12/31/2014 07:49:38 am

If you subscribed to the collection right from the start you'll likely receive any given model pretty much right after its release. The same thing might occur even if you're late in the game, but it could also be that you'll see ut after a year or two. I'd say it's basically impossible to tell.

Ulf Carlsson

12/31/2014 10:32:09 am

Michelle
Do you Think the Volvo trucks Collection will be started?
I will change to my Swedish military Collection especielly when the TP21 comes under 2015

Michelle

1/1/2015 09:03:33 am

I can't tell you exactly when Editions Atlas will start the test for the Volvo Truck Collection.
Mr Atlas may answer that question.

Ove NO

1/2/2015 01:11:13 pm

Michelle
Hope that truck collection will be a success in Sweden , so it can be launched in Norway , there are many model collectors, who have a relationship with Volvo Trucks in childhood ;o)

Mr. Atlas link

1/5/2015 08:18:29 am

I just look at the actual Volvo Truck 1st test result, the test is not finished yet but has already really good results !

So, I hope now to convince my management to go further with a second test...

Little marketing explanation:
We always do 2 tests, the first to see the general interest in the product. If this first test has good results, we do a second one to see how many interested customer would begin a collection (and not buy only the first issue)...

And for Atlas, if we launch something in Sweden, it will also automatically be launched in other scandinavian countries and Finland... So good hope for a Volvo Truck collection for next year !

Thanks for your interest :-)

Ulf Carlsson

Michelle
Do you have a possibility to show the first picture of TP21 no:59?
best regards from Ulf in Sweden

Michelle

1/20/2015 12:11:01 am

Dear Ulf,

I'm afraid but I can't since I do have just a 3D computer drawing.

And even if I would have any photos of the scale model Mr Atlas would not be pleased seeing me publishing confidential info's.

I'm very sorry. But I guess it won't be too long before Editions Atlas will release the first photos.

Mr. Atlas link

1/21/2015 12:00:36 am

Dear Michelle, Dear Ulf,

I'm also sorry, for the moment I also didn't receive any prototype, so no possibility to make picture for now...

The first prototype will probably come after the Chinese New Year.

Lars Vermundsberget

1/29/2015 03:01:13 pm

According to the info in my account on editionsatlas I'm going to receive as my next model in the Volvo Collection a "VOLVO LV4 T1 SCAN". Was there supposed to be a truck (lastvagn) in this collection...?

volworine

2/18/2015 10:38:29 am

It's the same here as well.
I was a bit confused when I read the next model will be a LV4.
Well, I have a receiver that model today, and inside was the C70 Convertible :-)
However, once again, Editions Atlas delivery was incomplete. The package is missing brochure...

Lars Vermundsberget

2/18/2015 12:59:19 pm

All right, the info could simply be entirely incorrect! I didn't quite think of that option, even though it wouldn't be the first time. I'll see one of these days - the C70 would be nice. :)
