The number thirty-five in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 244 DL 'Blue Star'. First hour subscribers should receive this model this month. This is a newly tooled model of this classic Volvo model. The 240 in 1:43 scale had in the past surprisingly very often been neglected by model car manufacturers. Editions Atlas choose to produce this rather unknown version of the Volvo 244. Here is a small description of the Volvo GL 'Blue Star' model : The Volvo 244 DL 'Blue Star' was based on the standard 'DL' model. This special edition received however a few options from the 'GL' trim line : seats, steering wheel, rims, ....
The 244 DL 'Blue Star' was powered by the B21A engine who developed 74 kW @ 5250 rpm. It was available with a manual gearbox with overdrive or with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The 244 DL 'Blue Star' had been released in 1978 just before the new restyled model ( rectangular front lights, larger rear lights ) was launched September 1978. Around 100 units had been delivered to the Benelux countries ( Netherlands, Belgium & Luxembourg ). You could say that they sold the older model in an elegant way. This has become a truly normal thing these days for mostly any car brand.
