50 Child Car Seats Donated this Holiday Season

Image
Every year, Lehman Volvo stands behind Volvo’s core value of safety and donates child car seats during its “Protect the Gifts” Car Seat Campaign. This past December Lehman Volvo donated 50 child car seats to families throughout the Central Pennsylvania region. Ray Bromley, Lehman Motors Owner and President, explains: “During this time of year, the tendency is to start compiling a list of gifts for loved ones and we don’t always take the time to reflect upon the gifts we already have…our children. This campaign is a nice way of putting that thought into a meaningful effort for our community.”  The “Protect the Gifts” Car Seat Campaign is a holiday tradition that Lehman Volvo looks forward to every year. A special thank you goes out to all of the Certified Car Seat Technicians from Safe Kids PA who dedicated their time to ensure that each and every car seat was safely installed. Congratulations to all the families who received a car seat this holiday season. May you travel safel

3rd Annual "Protect the Gifts” Car Seat Campaign

Image
Lehman Volvo is proud to present its 3rd annual "Protect the Gifts" Car Seat Campaign this Holiday Season.  There are many new parents in the Central Pennsylvania region who simply cannot afford new child seats for their families, and unfortunately end up compromising on safety.  Standing behind Volvo's core value of safety, Lehman Volvo will select families in need of infant, toddler, and/or booster seats and provide them new car seats.  Lehman Volvo believes the gift of safety is something everyone should have. Ray Bromley, Lehman Volvo Owner and President, explains: “During this time of year, the tendency is to start compiling a list of gifts for loved ones and we don’t always take the time to reflect upon the gifts we already have…our children. This campaign is a nice way of putting that thought into a meaningful effort for our community.”  There is an e-mail address set up at protectthegifts@lehmanvolvo.com in which families can be nominated for a

Aw Shucks...It's The 41st Annual Oyster Festival

Image
This past Sunday, Lehman Volvo sponsored the 41st Annual Oyster Festival located at the Agricultural & Industrial Museum in York. And although it was a cold, windy, and rainy day (yes, even some flurries made an appearance), over 2,000 oyster-lovers attended York's great tradition! The Oyster line forming once the gates opened at 11am Oysters were prepared stewed, raw, and the crowd favorite, fried.  Not an oyster fan?  That is OK too!  Crab cakes, shrimp, BBQ sandwiches, chicken corn soup, hot dogs, mac & cheese, and apple fritters were also found at the festival.    After indulging in plates full of food, attendees toured the Agricultural & Industrial Museum, where many original York County artifacts are displayed.  The festival also included artisan craftsmen, a silent auction, and live music by The Wild Hymns.  Lehman Volvo loves being part of a great York tradition, and will continue to support the York Country Heritage Trust in their future

Last year, all the Harrisburg teams combined raised over $250,000. Thank you to all who supported Lehman Motors in their efforts to raise funds and awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Top Safety Pick+ awarded to the All-New Volvo XC90

Image
The Volvo XC90 has been award a Top Safety Pick+ rating, the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This prestigious rating is only given to vehicles that achieve full scores in all crashworthiness and front crash prevention tests, as well as preventive and protective safety performance. The crashworthiness category tests the vehicle’s small overlap, moderate overlap, side roof strength, head restraints and seats. The XC90 received full points for every crashworthiness test, and was believed to be superior in front crash prevention (all thanks to Volvo’s City Safety system which is standard in every new Volvo). “Every Volvo currently rated by IIHS has earned a Top Safety Pick+, we are the only automaker that can claim that proud distinction,” said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, “the XC90 is the next step in our Vision 2020, which states that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a ne

After the success of the 2013 Volvo Polestar launch, another round of these sporty vehicles hit the market in the summer of 2015.  Volvo expects to sell 750 Polestar versions of the V60 wagon and S60 sedan globally.  With the new ownership of Polestar, Volvo forecasts to increa

The Re-Imagined Child Safety Seat Concept

Image
Volvo Cars recently introduced their re-imagined Child Safety Seat Concept. This concept follows their Shanghai reveal of the XC90 Excellence and Lounge Console Concept—a passenger seat-less XC90 designed to create a sense of ‘first-class’ for the 2nd row passenger (image below of the XC90 Excellence and Lounge Console Concept). Now, Volvo has taken the Lounge Console Concept even further with the Child Safety Seat Concept. “We started by asking ourselves if we could make life easier for parents and safer for their children when it comes to the child seat experience. We focused on three key benefits—making it easier to get the child into and out of the child seat from an ergonomic and comfort perspective, providing the child with a safe rearward facing seating position that enables it to keep eye-contact with either the driver or the rear passenger and of course including enough storage for those vital child accessories, such as diapers, bottles, wipes, and so on,” said Tisha

Passenger Seatless Volvo XC90 Edition

Image
Volvo is taking luxury to a whole new level by introducing the XC90 "Excellence" concept in the Chinese market.  This special XC90 no longer has a 3rd row...or a passenger seat!  That's right, this vehicle is designed for a 'chauffeur-style' type of driving, which is the most common in China. Volvo's 'Lounge Console' is in place of a passenger seat, which allows the second row passenger to feel as if they are in first-class.  The Lounge Console combines an ottoman, television, work station, and storage all in one!  Hard to imagine, huh?  Watch the video below to see the XC90 Excellence for yourself!
