If there is The Volvo brand is known for its puncture-proof and indestructible models. Security pioneer, it was also for the reliability of his cars. Born, designed and conceived primarily for Sweden, they were meant to be comfortable everywhere. In a country with extreme weather conditions, especially in the north. Where standard models sometimes had a hard time resisting the cold, humidity and all the unevenness of the terrain. This is what always determined the popularity of the manufacturer with whom we identified his famous rectangular station wagons“Volvo bricks”. Models that even today travel the roads of the world without difficultyas an insult to those who would like to bury them early…

Eleven Volvos left in the hangar

So when we come across a series of photographs of urban explorers (those lovers of abandoned places) who discovered a large hangar in Belgium populated by old abandoned Volvosas if our brain has come across something abnormal… Eleven models are eating dust here, between four brick walls (well, Volvo station wagon height), and most of them are in very poor condition. Most of them are from different eras, starting with from the first Amazon to the last 740. But it is first of all 240, which are here in double, triple, quadruple: Only 5 copies of the model, sedan and four station wagons, you really have to love it! ! In this mechanical mess are a few old examples: a 242 sedan and an old 244.

Condemned to indifference…

It’s hard to tell from these photos how long they were left there, as if detached from the world. Most had windows and headlights blown out, probably damaged by unfriendly visitors (morons?). One of them had the entire front part torn off, he was lying on his side: as a living organ bank. Another unusual fact: one of the Amazons must have once participated in a car race, judging by the numbers on her sides and the glue decorations on her headlights. It is very sad to see all these historical models struggling with the elements like this. Especially when we know that Volvo means “I drive” in Latin: it is very sad to see how many models of the brand are doomed to real estate…
