I'm at a complete loss... my girlfriend had this picture snapped, and 've got no idea what kind of car it is. Any ideas?

Pic is dark, but looks like a Volvo P-1800 wagon to me...

It's a Volvo wagon based on the Volvo sports car circa mid 60's

I like the new C30 which kind of brings back the spirit of the old P1800 ES:

Possibly, but it's Euro, so it's supposed to be cool.

I stopped at a dealer a couple weeks ago to look at the C30, I really liked it but my wife thinks it's too small. It will be for her so I guess it is too small.

You are a wise man to defer to higher authority.

Yup, Volvo P1800 ES. My Dad had the coupe version. There's a couple of threads about them around here someplace...

Cheers,

Paul.
