Volvo Owner Soon to Reach 3,000,000 Miles

CONCORD, N.H. - June 27, 2013 - PRLog -- As a strong testament to the strength of Volvo engineering, a 1966 Volvo P1800 owned by Long Island resident Irv Gordon will soon hit 3,000,000 miles. This is a landmark achievement for both Mr. Gordon and Volvo, highlighting both parties' commitment to quality vehicles through hard work. The entire team at Lovering Volvo of Meredith (http://www.loveringmeredith.com/index.htm) is proud of the upcoming accomplishment, both as lovers of Volvo models and of the power of great automobiles in general.

"The best way to explore America is by car," Mr. Gordon said. "I challenge everyone to go out and see as much as possible. Find your own journey and reason to believe because you only have one life to live. No matter how many roads I've been on, there's always one I haven't taken. That's what makes it exciting."

A 73-year old retired science teacher, Mr. Gordon purchased his P1800 on June 30, 1966 and has kept it running ever since thanks to a strong attention to maintenance that he has performed himself. He says that it's not the 3,000,000 mark that's special, but all the miles that have gotten him there, most of which were accrued on countless cross-country road trips. He has already been featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most miles driven in a non-commercial vehicle by a single owner.

The beautiful red P1800 is being featured in a campaign by Volvo Cars of North America, aptly named 3 Million Reasons to Believe (http://volvocars.3millionreasons.com/). Besides access to a film telling Irv Gordon's story, the website also lets Volvo fans post pictures and comments about their own adventures, with a map of the world that lets them pinpoint their location. Also included is a detailed picture timeline of Volvo's history, with a special highlight on the iconic P1800.
