Volvo’s 15 Millionth Car Comes With a Trip to Sweden

Paul and Aimee Kay bought a piece of Volvo history when they took delivery of their 2008 Volvo C70. This special vehicle had traveled more than 5,000 miles from its factory birthplace in Uddevalla, Sweden to reach its new home.

The first Volvo car left a Swedish factory in April, 1927. This new Swedish car was called the OV4 (”OV” — Swedish for “Open Car” and “4″ denoting the number of cylinders).

In February, 2008 car number 15,000,000 — ironically another convertible — with a retractable hardtop, was produced.

The Kays took delivery of their Celestial Blue “two-cars-in-one” Volvo at San Diego Volvo, where its dealer principal Wes Hinkle and Hembrough were on hand to present not only the keys but an unexpected surprise from the glove compartment.

In addition to receiving their 15 millionth Volvo, customers Paul and Aimee Kay were also presented with a trip to Sweden, replicating Volvo’s #1 European Overseas Delivery Program, without of course picking up their new car — which they now already have.

Their package for two includes: Airfare; Hotels; and tour of the Factory Delivery Center, in the “Home of Volvo” Goteborg, Sweden. However, to avoid any confusion before packing your bags, not every Volvo C70 comes with a special treat in the glove box.
