The Volvo 140 Series is a line of mid-sized cars that Volvo made from 1966 to 1974 as the 142 two-door sedan, the 144 four-door sedan and the 145 five-door estate. It followed the Amazon and was the first Volvo to use a three-digit model number, in which the digits give the series, the number of cylinders and the number of doors. Its boxy, rectilinear styling set the shape that lasted into the 1990s as the 200 Series, and it brought disc brakes on all four wheels. Volvo built the 144 at Torslandaverken from late summer 1966 and the 145 estate followed in 1968. Engines grew from the 1.8 litre B18 to the 2.0 litre B20, and more than a million were built in eight years.
