The Volvo 900 series is a range of mid-size car manufactured by Volvo Cars from 1990 to 1998. The 900 series was introduced in 1990 to replace the 700 series from which it derived. Prior to the end of its production, the series was renamed S90 and V90, becoming the last rear-wheel-drive cars from Volvo.
Visible differences between the 700 and the 900 series included redesigned rear styling of the sedan models (late 700 estates and early 900 estates are visually identical.) The 960 was introduced in 1991 along with a new family of modular engines, and then was substantially revised for the 1995 model year, improving the handling. The range was first augmented and finally supplanted by the Volvo 850 in 1993, with the last of the 900s being sold in 1998. Some 900 series were built as chassis for ambulances and hearses after the main production run had been completed.
Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
