1981: Ronald Reagan was president, the first Space Shuttle flight happened and the Iran hostage crisis ended…and Chuck Stuart bought his red 1964 Volvo 1800S.
The car was painted in 1998 and also had all the chrome redone. Chuck admits it has been sitting under a cover for 20 years but now he is working on completing the restoration. Sometimes things and life just gets in the way.
Currently, the car is getting the entire brake system replaced with all new components. Not only will it go fast while looking good, it will stop too!
Editor’s Note: Thanks for sharing your car with us, Chuck. We look forward to see the you and the car on the road.
