The Amazon shared both the wheelbase from its predecessor, the PV, as well as its tall posture and high H-point seating — while offering three model configurations: 2-door (P130) coupe, 4-door (P120) sedan (in Sweden and the UK a sedan is called a "saloon"), and wagon (P220-- called the "estate"). In 1959 Volvo provided front seat belts as standard equipment on all the cars, including the export models, becoming the world's first manufacturer to take this step — later becoming the first car featuring three-point seat belts.

  • The Amazon shared both the wheelbase from its predecessor, the PV, as well as its tall posture and high H-point seating — while offering three model configurations: 2-door (P130) coupe, 4-door (P120) sedan (in Sweden and the UK a sedan is called a "saloon"), and wagon (P220-- called the "estate"). In 1959 Volvo provided front seat belts as standard equipment on all the cars, including the export models, becoming the world's first manufacturer to take this step — later becoming the first car featuring three-point seat belts. The Amazon was originally manufactured at Volvo's Lundby plant in Gothenburg and subsequently at the company's Torslandaverken, which began operating in 1964. By the end of production, 234,209 four-door models, 359,917 two-door models and 73,196 station wagons had been produced, 60% of them for export — for a total of 667,323 vehicles. The earlier models had only one carburetor; thus they were given the designation 121. Models made for export to the US and Canada had two carburetors (the 121 was deemed to weak) and thus was designated 122 (often called 122S-- s meaning "sport"). The 4-door 122S models were commonly used as police vehicles in the UK. Initially all Amazon models had four doors and were denoted by the code P120. In 1963 the 2-door sedans were introduced to the market. The car did not have anti-lock brakes, nor did it have power steering. It is known to be a reliable vehicle and is not too difficult to repair given access to replacement parts.
