The Volvoville P1800
When Volvo designed the P1800, they purposely made the doors without solid frames around the windows. This was done so that they could eventually come out with a convertible version with as little trouble as possible. Unfortunately, the Volvo engineers of the 1960s were given a hurdle that they could not overcome. Safety was now the name of the game, and the technology of the 1960's was just not up to the task. There was no way of making a convertible safe enough to pass Volvo's tough new safety regime.
That didn't stop some dealers, however, from modifying their stock of 1800's. Volvoville of Long Island, New York, became the most famous when they offered a dealer-installed option of a roofless P1800. The dream of Volvoville's founder, Stanley Lazrus, the Volvoville P1800 convertible was built using tops supplied by a local boat builder. The first was built in 1964 using a 1963 model, with about 30 more of these custom-made convertibles being ordered before Volvoville canceled the option in 1969. Many other owner-modified 1800's have been created, with the most common soft-top being from a cousin of the 1800, the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
