Quality, Reliability and Dependability You can Count on for Years


The Volvo brand has long since been affiliated with the concept of safety and dependability. For many Volvo owners, longevity is another word that comes to mind, and for one particular Volvo owner, "longevity" is actually quite an understatement.

Irv Gordon, the proud owner of a shiny red 1966 Volvo P1800, has traveled to just about every state in the U.S. But that's not all - his Volvo has more than 2.99 million miles on the odometer!

"I bought my Volvo P1800 on a Friday, and immediately fell in love," recalls Gordon. "I couldn't stop driving the car. It was a long holiday weekend, and I brought the car back to the dealership the following Monday for its 1,500-mile service."

In fact, Gordon logged 500,000 miles in 10 years due to his 125-mile round-trip daily commute and a passion to driving.

Volvo began manufacturing vehicles in 1927 and a loyal brand following has existed ever since. Volvo wanted to recognize dedicated vehicle owners like Irv Gordon (and their high mileage achievements), and so they created the Heritage Club.

How is Irv Gordon's Volvo Lasting for So Many Miles?


Volvo models are built to last, but Gordon's meticulous care, on-schedule oil changes and safe driving practices are just a few of the reasons why he's able to achieve his 3 million mile mark. In fact, Gordon has brought his P1800 to the same certified Volvo technician for more than 15 years.
