I had a '64 122S, like the top one of the 3 posted above. I took a great road trip in it after I graduated college, then it was down hill from there. That car $500ed me to near death before I declared it dead. I made a small fortune selling parts off of it & eventually sold the carcass for $200 & was happy to see it hauled away.

[quote BigGuynRusty]Same LogoType since inception in 1927.
It is not the Male symbol.:
"The Volvo symbol is an ancient chemistry sign for iron. The iron sign is used to symbolize the strength of iron used in the car as Sweden is known for its quality iron. The diagonal line (a strip of metal) across the grille came about to hold the actual symbol, a circle with an arrow, in front of the cooler. In the registration application for Volvo logotype in 1927, they simple made a copy of the entire cooler for ÖV4, viewed from the front."

Volvo cars are now Ford. Unless Ford sells the division off, chances of them seeing a 100th anniversary are about nil.
