Red for Passion

Esther de Charon de Saint Germain
VOLVO: SAFETY FIRST….

You’ve got to love the Swedes. The’ve invented beds that fit into a Mini (courtesy of Ikea) and they’re the master of nail-biting crime-series (a lot of that credit goes to Denmark too). It’s the land of Pippi Longstocking, mind blowing design, nature is ‘quite’ beautiful, they’re really in to hot rods and custom cars….and Ā its Volvo country.

Here’s some great video footage. See if you can find the living crash test dummy, theĀ recurringĀ female form that fits just wonderfully in the safety belts and the happily smokings men in their otherwise very safe Volvo’s.

Enjoy!

One thought on “Red for Passion”

  • regarding “red for passion”. At .34 seconds it is fascinating to see that model car in bright red. In California we never saw that commercial, and it seemed that model Volvo only came in one color, light brown.
