On Tuesday we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle from whence it came. Almost everyone who commented surmised that the shifter came from a ‘90s Volvo. The first commenter to correctly identify it as a first-generation Volvo C70 was Bruce A., who will receive a Save the Manuals button and sticker as a reward.


The C70 pictured here is from our May 1997 issue, the cover of which read: “Volvo turns Voluptuous!” on account of the car’s softer lines. The coupe was based on the Volvo 850 platform and was powered by a turbocharged inline-five engine making 236 hp.
