Volvo 244 GTX by Editions Atlas

The number sixty-two in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 244 GTX. The Volvo 240 GTX was not a normal or even special trim line. GTX was simply the name of a sporty parts package which was offered by Volvo dealers throughout Scandinavia. The various parts of this specific trim kit are best viewed and explained by having a look at the following three links showing scans/photos of some period brochures:

• forums.turbobricks.com/showpost.php?p=4879052&postcount=1941

These links give you a pretty good overview of the various options available and how you could personalize your car.

The scale model of this Volvo 244 GTX is based on the previously released Volvo 244 Blue Star model. This means that this new livery has been made by applying new decals as well as some new detail parts. The sunroof is unfortunately not a real reproduced detail but a sticker applied to the roof. A real represented sunroof would have resulted in a making a new mold which the actual situation wouldn't have allowed in terms of costs.
