    I think people in this thread are forgetting how floaty suspension used to be. Imagine hitting a pothole and the car is still bouncing 5 seconds later. In the US at the time the National Speed Limit was 55 mph (89kph).

      You think that pic post-dates 1974?! Crap. Every day I grow older. Further or closer to god’s light, who can say?

          Other sites give late 60s. That car screams 50s to me, which was like the Cambrian period for trying stupid shit with cars.

            The car in the picture is a Volvo P1800, so the sites that say it’s from the mid to late 60s seem to be relatively accurate. Or at least less inaccurate than the posts title.
