The Volvo Amazon estate car from Norev, in 1:18 scale, impresses with its harmonious lines and impressive attention to detail. The estate version in particular lends this classic Swedish car an extra sense of presence: the extended roofline, the large tailgate and the characteristic panoramic glazing emphasise the practical nature of the original without detracting from its elegant appeal. The absence of opening parts ensures a particularly harmonious body shape and allows the estate’s proportions to come into their own. The high-quality paintwork further emphasises the timeless simplicity of the design.
The real-life model was produced between 1956 and 1970 and was regarded as the epitome of Scandinavian solidity. The Amazon estate in particular combined everyday practicality with stylish restraint and became a popular family and touring car. Technically, the Volvo made history: as one of the first production cars, it featured a three-point seatbelt and contributed significantly to Volvo’s reputation as a safety pioneer.
