Recently we've shared news with you about a Volvo enthusiast who has been approaching the three million mile mark in his Volvo. Today we are thrilled to announce that he has now officially reached this milestone! Read on below to learn more from your trusted local Volvo dealer.
Irv Gordon is a 74-year-old retired teacher. Over 40 years ago, he purchased a 1966 Volvo 1800. Since that time he has traveled an incredible three million miles! This is a milestone that no other driver has ever accomplished in over 100 years of automobile manufacturing!
Irv Gordon spoke about his feat by saying:
"It's not about getting to the three million miles; it's about the trips that got me to the three million miles. ... I never had a goal to get to one million, to two million. I just enjoyed driving and experiencing life through my Volvo."
In order to celebrate his achievement, Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA) launched a special campaign called "3 Million Reasons to Believe." With this campaign, Volvo invites driving enthusiasts to visit the website in order to follow Irv's remarkable journey, explore his favorite road trips, and share their own reason to believe.

John Maloney, president and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, spoke of the accomplishment by saying:
"We at Volvo applaud Irv and his Volvo. The spirited red P1800 represents an extraordinary demonstration of reliability, durability, safety and intelligent design that honors all Volvos past and present. ... His P1800 is the living embodiment that Volvos are designed around you."
