Editing Volvo Amazon (section)

===Station wagon===
The [[station wagon]] (estate) version was introduced at the 1962 Stockholm Auto Show, and Volvo manufactured 73,000 examples between 1962 and 1969.<ref name="volvoclubamazonestate">{{cite web|title=The Amazon Estate (P220)- The First Major Step Towards the Five-Door Saloon|publisher=Volvoclub.org|url=http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/pdf/brochures/TrueFamilyCar.pdf}}</ref> The Amazon estate featured a two-piece tailgate, with the lower section folding down to provide a load surface and the upper section that hinged overhead. The vehicle's rear license plate, attached to the lower tailgate, could fold "up" such that when the tailgate was lowered and the vehicle in use, the license plate was still visible. This idea was used by the original 1959 [[Mini]]. In recent years a similar arrangement was used on the tailgate of the [[Subaru Baja]].

The Amazon [[automobile platform|platform]] was used as the basis for the [[Volvo P1800|P1800]] and 1800ES.<ref name="wsj">{{cite news |title=From the Past: Volvo 1800ES, Combination of a Wagon and Sports Car Flopped in the Market, but Became Influential |publisher=The Wall Street Journal |author=Dan Carney |date=30 June 2007 |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB118157635963731249 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080416040341/http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB118157635963731249.html |archive-date=April 16, 2008 }}</ref>
