Jörgen Brandt's incredible Volvo Amazon 121S

Have you ever looked at a car and noticed that the manufacturer changed, added or deleted something that you really liked? It may be a trim piece that was changed or maybe a cost cutting move that changed or even cheapened the car.

Wouldn't it be nice to take your favorite model car and boil it down to exactly what you want it to look like and maybe throw in some modern technology for good measure?

Jörgen Brandt from Bjärred in Sweden did just that. The Volvo 122 or Amazon as it is called in Sweden is one handsome car. It was also very popular as Volvo made over 600,000 Amazons during the production that lasted from 1957 to 1970.  Several items did change over the 13 year production and Jörgen decided to build the ultimate Amazon by picking the best parts from the entire production run as well as adding some high tech solutions.

One of the nicer features of the early cars was the bar going across the grilles. It was later deleted for a much simpler grille.
In order to add this style grill the whole nose piece had to be replaced.
