[Spridgets] Volvo P1800E - not really LBC

[Macy Larry]

I hate to be picky, but the 1800 wagon is not a Kamm back.

The Kamm back (Kamm Tail in Europe) is defined by a cut off back end (see
Chevy Vega Kammback). The idea was first promulgated by  Wunibald Kamm in the
1930's. The volvo is too sloped to be a Kammback.

Although wikipedia calls the Prius one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kammback

Proud owner of a 1973 Chevy Vega Kammback wagon. Was a great car, no matter
what anyone says.
