Just copied this from OVT. I went last year and drove the 240 Diesel. Not as far as a drive for those who live in Seattle or closer.

Here is a few pics from last year






February 14, 2010 “The 4th Annual Swedish Car Cruise-In”

The Puget Sound Volvo Sports America Chapter will again host the 4th annual “Swedish Car Cruise-In” meet, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Sunday, President’s weekend at the 1930 original Pacific Northwest XXX Root Beer Drive-In in Issaquah, Washington.

Volvo and Saab Clubs will meet again for a fun day in our NW mid-winter. Due to the increased size of this event with over 100 cars last year there will be no “People’s Choice” awards for the best “Swedish Iron” Volvo and Saab cars showing this year due to our PSVSA club’s lack of manpower to organize such a huge event. This event will return to the original idea of a “Saturday Night Cruise-In Event” on an early mid-winter Sunday morning at the historic XXX Root Beer Drive-In. Please dine on some great food from the XXX Drive-In menu and visit, and see old friends again for this car event.
