A Show-Winner: Lehman Volvo Employees Love their Volvos



What you are looking at is a stunning restored and modified 1984 Volvo 242 Turbo. This Volvo belongs to Lehman Volvo Technician Shane Feeser....and it's a winner. literally.
This month Shane's 242 won "Best Swedish Car" at the annual Carlisle Import Car Show. That's not a small feat considering Swedish vehicles have the largest turnout at the Carlisle show. In fact, there were over 350 on display (Volvos and Saabs), so winning best of that group is a challenge. There are always a lot of stunning machines on display, but Shane's hard work has paid off.

He bought his 240 in 2006 and has been perfecting it ever since. When he bought it the car was closer to being sent to the scrapyard than it was in any winner's circle.


He replaced a lot of worn out parts, installed a newer turbo-charged engine, replaced the interior, added European spec headlights, coilover suspension, Polaris 17 inch wheels, Group A racing wing, 240 Group A flathood and re-painted the vehicle. There was a lot more work, so that's just the tip of the iceberg. He also replaced the front end with newer body panels, updated the fuel injection and even created a custom exhaust.

 
 

Shane is no stranger to classic Volvos...he currently owns a total of 4 Volvos, some of which could be future show winners. Congrats to Shane!

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.
