Carl had entered a critical period – during this time he became his own man and made his own way. He was listed as försvarslös, meaning that he was a vagrant and without a legal guardian. In the midst of Åsheda's 1841-1846 husförhörslängd (household examination.a census of sorts), Carl approached his 20th birthday. He returned home a year later, but then bounced back and forth for a few years between his parents' cottage and another dwelling on Brinkelid. In 1840, the sixteen-year-old moved to Yexagård, another farm at Åsheda. Although he spent the bulk of his childhood on the farmstead where he was born, Carl began to look elsewhere as he reached his mid-teens. He was born August 3, 1824, in a soldier's cottage on the cavalry farm at Brinkelids rote in Ǻsheda parish, Kronobergs län, Småland. Slutligen landar historien i två av de lyxkombibilar som Volvo verkligen serietillverkade.Carl Gustaf Nilsson Fridland was the only child of soldat Nils Brink and Lovisa Ericsdotter. I ”Volvo 165 - drömmen om lyxkombin” berättas också historien om bilarna som är förutsättningen för en 165: Volvo 145 och 164. Här finns historierna om Volvo 165-hembyggen från hela världen. En Volvo som lastar mer, är snabbare och har mer lyxutrustning. Det här är boken om drömmen om en Volvo som är mer. Fredrik Nyblad på tidningen Klassiker hittade en bild från 1972 i ett arkiv och blev fascinerad av fenomenet Volvo 165.įotografiet han fann ledde till att han blev ägare av den enda Volvo 165 som Yngve Nilssons karosserifabrik byggt. Volvo 165 är modellen som aldrig serietillverkats men som ändå byggts av Volvo i Australien, karosserifirmor och inte minst som hembyggen. You can buy this book (124 pages) directly from the publisher Trafik-Nostalgiska Förlaget in Sweden. (Volvo 165 - the Dream of a Luxury Station Wagon) The coach builder then built the car according to Stures ideas.įurther 165's have been built ever since by private persons and car shops all over the world. Then in July 1972 Sture Levin wanted to build a special car for himself and gets a brand new 164 US spec from Torslanda and drove it to Yngve Nilssons Karosserifabrik in Laholm (SE). According to a Volvo designer I know one or two were built in Gothenburg, but I don't have any hard evidence of that. It does even have is specific Volvo VIN number. That is the only 165 that has been built in a Volvo factory. In February 1972 the assembly plant in Australia which built Volvo's had a few knock down kits (CKD-kits) left and they took a 145 and a 164 and built both into a 165. The production was based on the wheelbase length and the 164 was roughly 100 mm longer as the 140/145 so that the long straight six cylinder would fit.Īround 1970-71 an engineer at Volvo Annes Sture Levin who worked with special cars had an 165 ambulance produced by a coach builder. Offering an official 165 estate would have made the 164 less prestigious and it would have made the production of further body forms §way more complicated. Here is a short background information: quote by Fredrik Nybard - the owner of a Volvo 165: But you will for sure find a few examples on the web. Some of you might be lucky to catch a glimpse of this Volvo somewhere around the globe. Well that is neither completely wrong nor right. Some might say: "what?!!! … a 164 estate … Volvo never produced such a car!". The number seventy-five in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 165.
