Actually, I went looking at Volvo pictures and found it.

I don't know for sure what year, but I am guessing late 70s early 80s. I recognise that front end anywhere. Seeing it brought a huge rush of emotion.

The car was extra long and had rumble seats in the back that folded down in to the floor for extra storage space. You could seat 2 extra kids in the very back rumble seat, facing out the rear window. The hood, the roof, and the rear end was all maroon, the side panels were white. Round headlights with yellow headlamps on the outer edge. He had little wipers on his. I don't know if this was stock or a custom job... He did have the car customised a bit. Mostly comfort stuff for long distance travel. The glove box was a cooler. It'd keep a six pack of cokes cold. In the back there was an ice chest with a plug in the bottom for drainage. On long trips there was always cheddar cheese, the good kind, with the red wax rind on the edges, and lots of crunchy Washington apples. Packed away on ice so they were cold and crispy. There was a somewhat outdated 8 track player as well as a cassette deck. When we went on long trips and it was just us, it was always Johnny Cash on the 8 track player.
