Have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day Weekend

May 25, 2012 - This Memorial Day weekend the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California celebrates it's 75th Anniversary.  As the next Volvo Model Year rolls in it's worth noting that 2013 will be the 60th year of the Volvo wagon. 

In the summer of 2003 in celebration of the 50th year of the Volvo wagon, Volvo Cars of North America had a special event on the Golden Gate Bridge and at the Presidio in San Francisco.  A caravan of Volvo cars from 1953 to 2003, most of which were wagons made a unique round trip procession across the bridge.  I was able to participate in the activities with my Volvo wagon... that I still own and drive regularly.  Here's a photo from the event.  

No matter where or how you travel this Memorial Day weekend may your journey and your holiday be both safe and happy.  Hopefully we will soon have more Volvo wagon models in America to cross old bridges with and to create lasting memories!

April 20, 2012 - Are you thinking about visiting the Volvo Museum in Sweden when you pick up your new car at the factory?

Peak Season Surcharge 

April 17, 2012 - Effective May 1, 2012 there will be a Peak Season Surcharge with a Volvo Overseas Delivery Tourist Program purchase.  The value and cost of the two complimentary airline tickets has increased quite significantly over the last couple of years.  The rising cost of oil and fuel charges imposed by the airlines, travel taxes, as well as the high cost of travel during the summer means the costs for tickets are especially high during the peak summer months.  This surcharge is being introduced in order to be able to maintain the two complimentary tickets with an Overseas Delivery Tourist car order.

The Peak Season Surcharge will be applicable to all new orders received by Volvo after May 1, 2012 with a European delivery date in June, July, or August.  The charge is $150 per traveler, so a maximum of $300 per car.  This charge will be payable to the Volvo travel agency.

 

Happy 85th Birthday! 

April 14, 2012 - On April 14, 1927, the first mass-produced Volvo car rolled off the production line at the Lundby factory in Goteborg, Sweden. Now, 85 years later, the Volvo Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers of commercial vehicles and Volvo Car Corporation sells almost 500,000 cars each year.

At 10 am on April 14, 1927, sales manager Hilmer Johansson drove the first mass-produced OV4 model through the factory gates in Goteborg. Now, 85 years later, an identical model will pass through the same gates to celebrate Volvo's birthday. Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation, and Olof Persson, President and CEO of the Volvo Group, will be behind the wheel.

The Volvo Group and Volvo Car Corporation are two companies with a long shared history. However, what was originally one company began with a rather unpromising start since Volvo's founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson had no experience in the automotive industry. During its first year of production, Volvo sold a very modest 300 cars. However, the following year business began to really take off, when the company also started manufacturing trucks and buses.

In 1999, the Volvo Group sold its car business. Since then, the two companies have continued to grow. Volvo Car Corporation is now in the premium segment and last year sold around 450,000 cars in 120 countries, with the USA as its single largest market. The Volvo Group produces trucks under the Volvo, Renault Trucks, Mack and UD Trucks brands, together with buses, construction equipment, marine drive systems and aircraft engine components. The Volvo Group is the world's second largest manufacturer of heavy trucks and Sweden's largest company.

In honor of Volvo's 85th birthday the Volvo Museum in Goteborg will hold an open house from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on April 14, 2012. A parade to the city center with both new and vintage vehicles is also planned.

 

Volvo Factory Tour - Closed Days - Summer 2012 

April 13, 2012 - The Volvo Factory in Goteborg, Sweden will be closed to tours from Monday, July 9, 2012 through Friday, August 17, 2012.  During this time Overseas Delivery cars will still be delivered to customers in Goteborg but there will not be any tours of the Volvo Factory.  Instead customers may explore the Volvo Cars Brand Experience Centre.  At the Volvo Cars Brand Experience Centre visitors see, hear and learn about the long history of Volvo and its holistic commitment to safety and the environment around the world.  Tours of the factory will resume on Monday, August 20, 2012.

 

Traveling with children or exploring your inner child?

April 13, 2012 - If you are traveling to Sweden with children or if you will be exploring Europe with your inner child - then you must visit Liseberg in Goteborg.  It's the biggest and most popular amusement park in Northern Europe.  The spring and summer season at the park begins April 28th with fun and laughter for the entire family.

 

 

Goteborg crowned the Culinary Capital of Sweden

April 3, 2012 - Reinforcing its status as the culinary hotbed of Northern Europe, Goteborg has been named the Culinary Capital of Sweden 2012.

At a recent ceremony led by Sweden's Minister for Agriculture, Eskil Erlandsson, the city was awarded the prestigious title in recognition of its wealth and quality of natural produce, often incorporating fresh ingredients from the west coast.

Judges were impressed by Goteborg's fantastic partnerships within West Sweden - connecting town and countryside, small - scale and industrial food production - explaining that this makes the city attractive to visitors from near and far. Goteborg's foodie scene has seen fantastic growth over the past few years. Goteborg boasts five Michelin-starred restaurants - unique for such a small city - and as a major fishing port, it has an abundance of top notch seafood restaurants.

What's more, Goteborg is the only Swedish city in the international network Delice, a collective of good food cities around the world, including Barcelona, Chicago, Lyon, Montreal and Osaka. Going to different restaurants and trying new foods is a big part of any vacation.  Plan your Goteborg dining itinerary here: http://www.goteborg.com/en/Eat/Eat-Startpage/

 

                                                                                                                                    

Town in Sweden named one of Europe's most secret villages 

March 30, 2012 - Yahoo Travel revealed ten secret villages in Europe in a recent story. "There's no better place to vacation under the radar than in a secret European village. On winding cobblestoned streets you can easily lose yourself in centuries old charm and fall into step with slower paced locals". 

Fjallbacka, Sweden is among these ten enchanting European villages most U.S. travelers haven't yet stumbled upon.  This beautiful little town of 1,000 residents on Sweden's west coast, is 79 miles north of Goteborg.  Fjallbacka is the birthplace of Sweden's top selling writer Camilla Lackberg, whose hometown is featured in her best selling novels.  View the article and photos of these quaint European villages.

What kind of car would an astronaut who has been to the moon drive? 

March 2, 2012 - Volvo owners are known to travel many miles in their vehicles.  Ever wondered what kind of car would someone drive who has been to the moon and back?  Look at a neat Motor Trend story about Buzz Aldrin and his Volvo.  This retired US Air Force pilot, astronaut, and mechanical engineer was the second human being to set foot on the moon.  Buzz Aldrin can comfortably see either the sun or the moon while driving with the top down in his Volvo C70 convertible.  And the color of his C70? - Celestial Blue of course!

 

Volvo Museum set visitor record in 2011 

February 23, 2012 - Last year, more than 67,000 visitors found their way to the Volvo Museum in Arendal, just outside of Goteborg, Sweden. That is a 22 percent increase compared to 2010.  Many Volvo Overseas Delivery customers tour the museum when picking up their new car at the factory in Sweden.  However "One reason behind the new record is that we are drawing a large number of cruise ship passengers" says the head of the museum Sten-Ake Lyngstam. 

Many of the cruise ships that arrive in Goteborg are too big to anchor at the heart of the waterfront city. Instead, they arrive at a dock 50 meters from the museum. A tour through Volvo history has become the first stop for many of the predominantly American, British and German tourists who arrive by sea to discover Goteborg. "We are also visited by a growing number of tourists from China. The Volvo brand is well known in China", says Sten-Ake Lyngstam.

A recent addition to the museum is the Volvo Ocean Race / Volvo Golf Experience exhibition, where visitors can challenge each other in setting sails on the impressive Volvo Open 70 class race yachts, or sharpen their putting skills on the golf green.  The museum staff has also custom built a Volvo V50 especially for kids.

This year marks the anniversary of several Volvo classics. The Volvo F16 truck turns 25, and the Volvo 760 and the Volvo Amazon station wagon have been around for 30 and 50 years respectively, which will be celebrated with specific showcases. This year, the Volvo Museum Day will take place on May 5, 2012. Visitors will be treated to live music and given the opportunity to watch as 90 heavy trucks that take part in the veteran rally "Tunga Rallyt Vast" cross the finish line.

The Volvo Museum showcases the history of Volvo and its development from 1927 until today. Exhibits include products from the whole Volvo range: cars, trucks, buses, aviation, marine and construction equipment.  The Volvo Museum is operated jointly by the Volvo Group and Volvo Car Corporation.  See more info, videos and photos here: www.volvomuseum.com

February 10, 2012 - Do you enjoy bike riding?  If you are going to be in Goteborg during spring or summer why not consider planning a bicycle trip around the city. There's over 600 km (373 miles) of cycling routes.  Goteborg has a very comprehensive bike network that will take you to attractions and islands in and around town.  Since it's hard to fly and take your own bicycle with you tourists can take advantage of Goteborg's bike rental programs.

Over 200 photographs of Overseas Delivery (OSD) customers and their Volvo cars were received by Volvo for the contest.  Many of these photos are of Lawrence Volvo customers and the cars that they picked up in Europe. You may look at all of the photographs in the contest here.
