These Spring Swap Meets are always a fun way to spend a Sunday. Walking through the collection of classic Volvos while seeing friends  you haven’t seen for a while. Locating a difficult to find part that someone is willing to sell. As the first club event in 2025 we shared ideas about upcoming car shows, the May 17th parade, and other gatherings in the months ahead.

With our Swap Meet falling on a Sunday, it was a chance to see club members who work during the week and can’t always make it to our weekday Volvo GT Meetings. Our friend Codey Fujita
is one such member who came with his beautifully restored 122 Amazon. He also brought a handful of Volvo parts to find a new home for. His Volvo won the Best in Show Award at last year’s club sponsored car show held at the Seattle Swedish Club.

We welcomed a number of Volvo owners who aren’t PSVSA club members – as these events are open to the general public. We all share the same passion for these classic Swedish made automobiles. You discover that vintage Volvo owners are very often the most interesting people.

See you soon at the next Volvo event, Dale

The Lake Forest Park Bar & Grill in North Seattle hosted our club’s annual Christmas party on the 18th. We had an enthusiastic group of Volvo owners gathered. Dick Libby was given the 2024 Car of the Year award for his beautiful 544 and for reminding us how best to have fun with our cars.

We amused and entertained each other with tales of driving our classic Volvos at breakneck speeds. We spoke of future car events where we would win “Best in Show “awards. Cruises we would take in the coming year ahead. All things to keep the flame of passion lit. We all look forward to warm days in 2025 when we would be able to drive our Volvos once again under sunny skies.  Special thanks to all of you who helped make this past year one of our very best.  

Join us for our next monthly meeting. We gather indoors at 10:00am during the winter next to Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park.  Grab a cup of coffee and come join us to talk about your classic Volvo!
