Manager, Ed Sarecky speaks highly regarding their relationship with the NFL athlete. “He is very loyal to us and we are glad to return the favor when we can. Most recently we shipped a used SUV to his mother in Louisiana and now we are thrilled to have the Cutlass in the repair shop.”
The antique car was purchased from Kentucky and is getting a new top. It is expected to be completed by the end of January, just in time for the off-season.

Celebrate fifty years of the Volvo wagon, from the PV445 Duett of 1953 to the V70R of 2003.
Golden Gate, Golden Anniversary
Long before the the SUV or the minvan, there was the wagon—and for fifty years, the Volvo wagon has been the quintessence of the breed. Now, as this most recognizable of Swedish imports turns fifty, we celebrate with a look back, from the 1953 Duett to the new V70R. Here, a train of wagons crosses San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge during recent Golden Anniversary festivities.

2008 Volvo C30
October 10, 2008
The smallest Volvo is more than a chopped version of the S40 sedan.
The C30 is the smallest Volvo ever sold in the United States, a land where upmarket-brand small cars are few. The Mini Cooper and the Volks-wagen GTI take the traditional hot-hatch approach, with sportiness their calling card, while the Audi A3 is purely a premium compact. The C30 is closer in spirit to the A3, but that car has four doors where the C30 has two, so Volvo sees the C30 as more of a sporty funster for the young and hip.

2008 Volvo V70 Wagon
October 10, 2008
When you think station wagons, you usually think Volvo. The V70 is the image of practicality, if not exactly a driving excitement.
You might think that Volvo wagons are desired only by affluent suburban mothers, but think again: my friend Richard, a 38-year-old hair stylist, is ga-ga over this car. As soon as he saw it in my driveway, he gushed, “That Volvo wagon is BEAUTIFUL! I want it! It would be perfect for me and Walter – I could put a crate in the back for him.” Walter is not another man, but rather Richard’s snow white Siberian husky. And I agree, both stylish Richard and handsome Walter would look good in the Volvo V70.

2009 Volvo C30, S40, and V50 DRIVe Diesels
October 10, 2008
These European Volvos use aero aids to eke out more distance per gallon of diesel.
While Americans fret about miles per gallon, Europeans take a serious look at how much carbon dioxide (CO2) their vehicles emit. Volvo’s done just that with its new DRIVe range, consisting of specially-tuned versions of its C30, S40, and V50 models. All three produce less than 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
