Volvo 262

[ P1800ES | 242 | 244 | 245 | 262 | 262C | 264 | 265 | 66 | 343 | 345 ]

The Volvo 262 was a very rare creation in the Volvo 260 family. It was based on the same 2-door body used for the 242, but it naturally had the typical 260 front.

A limited volume of this model was produced specifically for the US market during a period of two years.

As this version is rare, it can sometimes be confused with the Bertone-built 262C.
