Good Book to Add to your Volvo Collection
danjohnston
I’ve got books, lots of books. Books on fossils, rocks/minerals, sailing, fly tying/fishing, house remodeling, cookbooks (way too many), surfing and a rather nice collection of Volvo books. Oh, I even have one written by Douglas (Wrong Way) Corrigan signed by him to my mother, around 1938. She loved airplanes, and even worked at Lockheed in Burbank, CA during WWII. Still, in our house there is always room for another Volvo book.
Here’s what Mark McCourt, of Hemmings Motor News, wrote in their October issue about Volvo’s new book, “Volvo Prototypes: A History of Volvo Car Corporation 1927-2011″:

Hi,
Last year I had contacted Mark regarding our 50th yr aniversery of the Volvo 1800 model and our Watkins Glen , NY and the Malibu, CA meets, in which he featured Irv Gordons P1800 on the Cover of Hemmings Sports Exotics mag also ran a 4 or 5 page piece on the 1800. it was great. He supplied me with copies for our members at the Watkins Glen meet and permission to reprint for the California meet. I also gave him a copy of book released last year on the history of the 1800 published by the Fellas over in Sweden..

Hi Guys, I would suggest adding an image to your blog posts in the future. It will help increase readership and social media sharing. Guaranteed!
Hi Brian,
.
Yep, messed that one up. Mark did send over a pdf pic and I missed sending it in. Should have it up later today. Thanks. I love putting photos into this blog, even included couple with my dog
Brian,
Apparently we can no upload PDF’s to this blog, hence the link to an outside source, Hemmings Motor News.
take care,
