Volvo 240 estate GLT 'USA' by Editions Atlas

9/21/2018

13 Comments

 
The number ninety and very last model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a classic brick. The final model is the 1:43 replica of the classic Volvo estate model. The 240 estate is without a doubt one of the most iconic and well recognizable Volvo models ever since Volvo has been started building cars back in 1927. It is for most Volvo enthusiast the very last proper Volvo. I'm personally not a fan of silver colored cars. I have to admit that I can't tell you f it has been a favorite among Volvo buyers.
I won't annoy you any longer with my personal thoughts. Most of you have already made up their mind regarding the mess since Editions Atlas decided to stop with their business. At least we got numerous Volvo scale models which have never been available in the past.

Like probably most of those interested, I think the Volvo Collection has provided us with a number of reasonbly priced models - and good ones, for the most part. On the downside, not just a handful, but most new models from the past couple of years have been recycled versions of previous models. A few have been compromises in other ways as well. Such as the final one, I'm sad to say. This US 240 Estate obviously has been based on the earlier 265GLE and 245GLT models, as you might notice by a quick glance at the front end. As for the whole collection, I find most of the models quite satisfactory - only a few serious exceptions. All in all, not bad, really.

Many models are missing in this collection, for example I think Volvo Philip (1953 concept car) is one of them.
But overall it's a nice collection.

I do agree. I would have fancied a few more prewar cars. But the collection was widely a compromise of car selection, financial aspects, input and limitations from licence holder, etc

As there is a S80 2012 there should also have been a late V70 2009. I know there is a Norev V70 but it is exensive and also a Hongwell but Atlas make them better! The Polis version from Hongwell has the back part totally wrong painted.
Most models have been nicely made but I still wait for 8 more Atlas models and I do not know if I will get them. They are spread over the list and 6 are specials like police and so on.

The Atlas Volvo collection brought us a lot of very good models, but I miss also the Volvo Philip, Laplander, 460, 345 (5-door 300 series) and the first V70 Cross Country.
I hope to get one time the 165...

It's true, expecially the 345 five doors... That I know there's no model car. Or am I wrong?

This will be my last Volvo from Editions Atlas. Not the grand finale I hoped for, but a nice car.
When information came about EdAtl closing down there were promises that all missing items should be delivered, and I hoped it was true until now. I stlll missed four items, but after contacting their Customer Service they helped me getting two of them. Great job! So I still miss number 33 (V40 phase II) which doesn't bother me so much, and number 68 (Coune Cab) which leaves a thorn in my heart. Really sad about that.
The time collecting these models has been great, especially when I found minivolvo.lu which increased my interest in model cars. Thank you, Michelle, I will keep following you site.
Also I happened to get in contact with Dimitri Baumgartner, a very nice person. I hope to find you on Internet somewhere.
So, a great collection, an increased interst in Volvos and a couple of great cyber friends. That's the result for me starting this collection.

I'll receive this 245 any day now as well. Then I'm up to 83 - seven still missing. I hope I'll get at least a few more, though I'll most probably not get the V40, like you mentioned. Doesn't bother me that much either, particularly since I've already got the later "TULL" Version.

This model is just like a 1984 Volvo we owned from 1984 to 1997 and drove for 175000 miles. I would like to buy one of these models of the Volvo 240 GLT Estate USA by Editions Atlas. Where can I obtain one? Thank you.
