Photo Gallery «Black Star - David Bowie's Volvo 262 C»
Volvo built the 262 C coupé together with Bertone from 1976 to 1982. David Bowie also fell for the charm of the unusual two-door car and bought a black 262 C in 1981, to which he remained loyal for several years. Today, we can only guess whether he listened to his own or other people's hits on the built-in cassette deck. This vehicle report portrays Bowie's Volvo and summarizes the history of the 262 C. A sound sample and historical pictures are also included.
