As requested by @Montfrooij in the Mercedes thread, here is an assortment of pictures of old Volvos involved in the May 1st parade. Unfortunately, No Volvo Amazon found although I am almost 100% certain there were some of those too, seems like I just couldn't find them. But hopefully having a Volvo bus and a lorry compensates a little for that

Great shots.    That lorry is in superb condition.

What a fantastic collection.

The owners must have given a tremendous effort to make sure they look good :-)

Oh man. Those look splendid!
Thanks

Makes me wonder how much of the paint is original.

No problem, glad to hear you liked them :-)

That sure is a good question.  Applies to many other parts of the restoration too.

Yeah, it is not a realistic nor a practical 'dream' to want one, but I sure like them.

Mint collection of vintage cars!

There was a sketch here in a show where a road cleaner was getting an award for saving the council money for using the same broom for 20 years,    it only had 6 new handles and 12 new heads.

It is way more realistic and practical than having a Ferrari, and I still am a fan of them XD Luckily we are allowed (and it is nice) to dream, even if that never came to fruition in practice. :-)

Yes, the parade had many great cars and collections to see :-)

Why does that sound familiar in many byrocratic instances?

You are right about that!

It was the 1980's and was quite the joke back then.
