Our Million Mile Celebrity

If you follow our blog, then you already know about Selden Cooper, our loyal customer who has logged 1 million miles on his 1987 Volvo 240DL. Well it turns out a lot of news agencies took notice as well.



Selden's story has been re-printed from Volvo on their own blog (as well as their Facebook page, pictured above), and with their own Press Release...but it doesn't stop there. The million mile 240 also has appeared in Motor Authority, the New York Daily News and in the November issue of Harrisburg Magazine.

And now, Selden is an international star with his story being printed in Sweden! Of course the coverage is well-deserved as Volvo is now the only brand with more than 1 million-miler (Irv Gordon completed the 1 million mark over a decade ago and is nearing 3 million miles). Once again, we are very proud of Selden Cooper and his million mile ride. It is still running strong and perhaps we will have a two million mile 240 story 25 years from now...

Until then find your long-lasting Volvo at Lehman Volvo in Mechanicsburg www.lehmanvolvo.com or Lehman Volvo in York www.lehmanvolvoyork.com

Here is your Volvo Safety...

Image
What you see above is the result of an accident between a tractor trailer, a Volvo XC60...and another tractor trailer. If you think the end result is devastating, just be aware...the driver and passenger of the Volvo XC60 walked away from this accident with only minor injuries. This accident happened in Brussels a couple of days ago, here is some of the report from their newspaper: A car containing a mother and daughter crashed into the back of a truck. The vehicle disappeared completely under the rear end of the heavy truck. To make matters worse, a heavy truck crashed into the Volvo XC60 from behind. The result was a lot of scrap. The emergency services had to rescue the two women from the car, who were trapped for more than one hour. The fire brigade had to cut off the roof of the vehicle before being able to set them free. The two ladies must have had a guardian angel as they got off with only minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for a routine check up So wh

How do I get one of those red plates?!

Image
It's a question we get every now and then. "How do I get one of those red plates?"...those red plates you see on various Volvos in Central Pennsylvania are actually Swedish Tourist plates. And the way to get them is to purchase your next new Volvo from Lehman Volvo through the Overseas Delivery program. In addition to being the BEST way to purchase your new Volvo, the Overseas Delivery program provides you with complimentary airfare for 2 to Sweden, a complimentary hotel stay and yes...that little red plate. Its another benefit to the program...Volvo provides you with complimentary European registration and Insuraunce for up to 14 days. And with that, your vehicle becomes a tourist vehicle. Once it reaches the US, Volvo makes sure that your red tag stays with the car, so you have a very cool and unique souvenier to remind you of the time you drove your Volvo in Sweden.
