Guess the Car #1 – What Gave It Away?
It was the Volvo 1800 ES (1971–1973) Also known by its famous nickname: “Snow White’s Coffin” ❄️
One of the most charming cars of the early ’70s, an elegant shooting brake, produced for just two years and now a true cult classic.
Why it’s so recognizable:
  • Sporty front with long, elegant lines
  • The iconic fully glass tailgate, revolutionary at the time
  • A rare mix of style and practicality
  • Powered by Volvo’s legendary B20 four-cylinder: simple, durable, and reliable
That glass tailgate earned the car its fairy-tale nickname. A design detail that still makes the 1800 ES instantly recognizable today.
Pure 1970s design vibes:
  • chrome accents
  • wooden dashboard
  • analog gauges
  • pastel and earth-tone paint colors
Only built from 1971 to 1973, the Volvo 1800 ES has become increasingly collectible and for good reason. It’s a car where design, simplicity, and character come together beautifully.
Your turn: What detail gave it away for you? Was it the rear glass, the silhouette, or the era it instantly reminds you of?
Looking forward to your explanations 👇
