VOLVO HAS followed the success of its top-of-
the-line Volvo 760 GLE — and responded to con-
sumer demand — with the introduction of the 740
GLE to its line of prestigious cars this model year.

And while the new 740
GLE is virtually identical to
the 760 GLE, those in the
market for Sweden's niost
famous export will find one
major ind attractive — clif-
fernce —— the base price is
about $5,000 fess,

The company has achieved
that noi by scaling down the
car but by sealing down the

equipment. A four-evlinder
engine has replaced the 760's
six cylinder and such
features as climate control
that are standard on the 760
are not included in the 740
GLE package.

While the purpose behind
the 740 is to make the Volvo
available fo a wider range of
buyers, the company has

maintained its coummittments
to its two trademarks — the
reputation for safety the car
has won through its

-engineering and the reputa-

tion for longevity that has
viven the Velvo much of its
reputation.

With the 740 GLE,
available now at Specialty
Motors, 1235 Marine Drive
in Nerth Vancouver, the
task of maintaining that
reputation while opening up
Volvo ownership to new
buyers appears well assured.
