1967 Valiant V100 front bench seat

Just have to tell a story from the past: When I was a kid,back in 1965 I travelled to Stockholm with my parents and my brother. We spent a week in a small cottage that we rented. On the second floor an American family from Chicago spent a couple of weeks of their summer vacation. The fathers grandparents were Swedes that moved to Chicago to get a better life like many Swedes did when times were bad over here. He had decided to seek his swedish roots and he had even purchased a Volvo Amazon Estate in Sweden that they were travelling around with. They planned to take it home to the U.S. when their vacation was over.
About 10 years later their sons visited us and I asked if the Amazon was still with them. They said that the Amazon was not really what they had expected and now the family had an "American Volvo". I had to ask what they meant by that: It´s a Valiant, they said, the best car ever built!
The old folks have passed away long ago but I still have contact with Don, their elder son and he is very interested in my classic cars and very happy with the purchase of the Valiant!
