The Volvo 130 series was particularly designed to the Swedish market, technically there was no difference with the 121/122S. Originally released in 1961 as a sportier and more compact option to the four-door models of the venerable Amazon lineup, this vintage Volvo automobile was manufactured until 1970 and featured foldable front seats for added convenience and longer doors for easier access to the rear seats. It was powered by a range of engines, including the B18 and B20 four-cylinder engines. and was equipped with a four-speed manual gearbox; certain models also had an optional overdrive. More powerful engines, extra features, and upgrades were the main distinctions between the Volvo 130, 131, 132, and 133.
