Volvo produced multiple B10 models, beginning with a front‑engined B10 in the 1930s and later a long-running series of mid‑ and rear‑engined B10 variants from the 1970s through the early 2000s.
===============
The Volvo B18 is one of Volvo’s most iconic engines, produced from 1961 to 1968. It’s a 1.8‑liter, inline‑4, OHV (pushrod) gasoline engine known for exceptional durability — so much so that the world‑record‑holding high‑mileage Volvo P1800S ran over 4.8 million km on its original B18.

Someone's yard ornament?

Thank you Dan,
Awaiting restoration — my assumption. Or, work on the 'pay-as-you-go' plan?

Nice photo I remember when the Flint River took my brother-in-laws 1969 Alfa Spider about 20 years ago.
Thank you for commenting!
We had a 245 wagon that passed with 250K miles - it ate blower motors and I had to repair the OD wires severed by the reverse lock several times, but I loved it. I described its manufacture as a blower motor set on a pedestal and the car constructed around that. Today's marque well beyond our needs and budget.
Nice image Bob.
I owned probably a 1/2 dozen of these cars in the past. You didn't need an advanced degree from MIT to open the hood and the B-18 engine you could actually work on.
