==Description==
"A historic model that epitomized the station wagon."
Back in the day, when someone uttered the name Volvo, many people tended to envision a station wagon. Until SUVs became popular in the late 1980s, station wagons were considered the ultimate family utility vehicle, and the one model that epitomized this genre was the Volvo 240 Estate. 
When the 240 was introduced in 1974, it featured a number of different body styles, including the "244" sedan, the "242" coupe and the "245" 5-door wagon. The last digit in these numerical designations denoted the number of doors of the model. 
It wasn't until 1983 that these variants were consolidated into a single 240 model. The model was introduced with round headlights, but were replaced with the company's iconic square lamps in 1979. The exterior appearance of the 240 was timeless, remaining largely unchanged until production of the vehicle ended in 1993. But in terms of safety, it was always on the cutting-edge, with airbags and ABS offered as standard equipment. The Estate was extremely popular, making up one-third of the 240 sales mix in an era when sedans were the "in" thing. 
One of the most notable features of the 240 Estate was its styling. Its boxy exterior became its most distinguishable feature. It emphasized "safety" with its long overhangs, front and rear that incorporated ample crumble zones. This resulted in the car's characteristically long thin silhouette. 
Like the exterior, the car's cabin was characterized by a simple yet functional design that defined cars made in Scandinavia at the time. 
Although not particularly powerful, the engine was robust and capable. Ride quality was excellent, thanks to a well-tuned suspension system. Everything about the 240 Estate made drivers want to pack their bags and head out on an extended road trip to enjoy the countryside. 
It took quite some time until the 240 was recognized for its historical significance. It's rare for a car to retain such a following well after its production run had ended.
