Editing Volvo Amazon (section)

==Features==
Original specifications for the Amazon included the new [[Volvo B16 engine]], a 3-speed [[manual gearbox]] (H6) and rear-wheel drive. In 1958 the sport model, ''Amazon Sport'', was released and later the same year the Amazon became the first series produced car with a three-point [[safety belt]] in the front seats as standard. In 1962, Volvo introduced a two-door version, a five-door wagon, and the new [[Volvo B18 engine|B18]] engine, deleting two-tone paint and upholstery. In 1965 the Amazon color-coordinated embossed vinyl upholstery and door panels became available. The new [[gearbox]] selections were the three-speed [[Volvo M30 gearbox|M30]] (briefly offered with an automatic electric clutch), the four-speed [[Volvo M400 transmission|M40]] and the [[Volvo M400 transmission|M41]] with four-speed and overdrive. The M31 gearbox was also introduced in 1961 but was only available that year (a three-speed fully synchronized gearbox with overdrive on both second and third direct gears). Gearbox options on the 121 were the M30, M31 and M40 while gearbox options on the 122S were the M40 and M41 gearboxes. In 1964 the Borg-Warner BW35 three-speed [[automatic transmission]] also became available on the four-door and two-door. From 1967 to 1968 the BW35 was also available on the five-door wagon.
