145 Express
Volvo produced a high roofed version of the Volvo 145 station wagon known as an Express as a replacement for the Volvo Duett. From the windscreen back the roof was raised by approximately 2 inches (51 mm), and from the B-pillar back it was raised again by about a foot. It was available in 3 configurations: standard station wagon (full glazing, 5 seats with the option of an extra 2 rear-facing seats), fully glazed panel-van with only 2 seats, and panel van with no glass in the rear doors and rear quarter panels. It found a niche market, and several coachbuilder firms later made "Express" versions of the 245. Its rear hatch was made of glass-reinforced plastic.

Famous quotes containing the word express:
“... perhaps there exists only one intelligence from which the world sublets, one intelligence toward which each person, from the depths of his individual body, directs his gaze, as in the theater where, though each has a seat, however, there is only one stage.... But if it we all shared the same intelligence, [Bergotte] would, upon hearing me express [my ideas], remember them, love them, smile at them....”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
