Lehman Volvo Cars

Thank you to everyone who celebrated the Lehman Volvo Cars Grand Re-Opening on October 11th-13th! It was so nice to see familiar and new faces throughout our Grand Re-Opening Weekend! We kicked off the celebratory weekend with an evening reception on Thursday, October 11th, filled with great company, live music, and Swedish-Inspired food & drink! We welcomed the Volvo Club of America (VCOA) Capital City Chapter on Saturday, October 13th to co-host a Volvo Car Show! Over 25 Volvos were on display, but only two walked away with the "People's Choice" and "President's Award" titles! Enjoy scrolling through the photos below.

We encourage you to stop by to view our newly renovated showroom, service area and customer lounge area, if you haven't done so already.
