On the same ten mile or so drive I saw the following...
 
-Late 60's-early 70's small-bumper/big tail light MGB-GT, BRG and in very nice shape. Back then sports cars came even smaller but this MG coupe was dwarfed by a smallish Kia (Spectra?) next to it.
 
-Volvo 1800E, the early 70's fuel-injected version of the Volvo Coupe popularly known as the P1800, in good condition, red with nice chrome and apparently in use as a regular driver, a guy was unloading photography equipment from it. Like most 60s designs the styling has held up well.

You can certainly use old Volvo P1800s as everyday drivers, but parking them on the street with that vulnerable and unobtainium front grillework---I dunno---in ten minutes your car can go from nice to nasty, and a long road back to normalcy. At least with an MGB you can replace the grill with one phone call and two day UPS. Also the Volvo overdrive is a devil to work on, but a nice thing to have.

Might be better to buy a barely used Phantom - better posing opportunities. But as the gap between the haves and have nots grows, there is an expanding market for those things I'm sure.

Surely you meant dual round headlights. I don't recall Volvo 240 series ever having quad, round lights, (although Saab did )
 
Oops... never mind.
