While there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Volvo enthusiasts and owners throughout the world, including many in the greater Columbus, Ohio area, the poster child for the car-person bond is Irv Gordon. Gordon purchases his P1800 back in 1966, and has put more than 3,000,000 miles on the iconic Volvo. The P1800 continues to run smoothly, and if you were lucky enough to feat your eyes on the model you would think it came right out of a showroom. The automaker recently created a very neat interactive website to not only celebrate Gordon's incredible journey and bond with his P1800, but to also celebrate Volvo history and enthusiasts.
The website, volvocars.3millionreasons.com, shares Gordon's story about his record-breaking mileage. The story truly inspires. It teaches you that every mile is a small piece in the journey of life and Volvo is proud to share that journey with Columbus, OH drivers with the lineup of new Volvo cars.
Fellow Volvo enthusiasts also have the opportunity to share their Volvo stories via uploading photos and the interactive map that allow fans to tag themselves and the model that was a part of their adventure. Everyone here at Byers Volvo has spent a fair amount of time on the site, and it most definitely shows that drivers are getting the most out of their Volvo cars and SUVs. And, enthusiasts are truly located all over the globe including places like Costa Rica, Latvia, and even Saudi Arabia.
The site also features a timeline of Volvo history that dates from the inception of the automaker to the present day. Specifically, it all started back in 1927 with the OV 4, and today marks the start of new era for Volvo. However, safety, dependability capability, and luxury continue to be the foundation and core of the Volvo brand.
