The Volvo 164 is a four-door, six-cylinder luxury sedan that Volvo showed at the Paris Motor Show in October 1968 and sold from the 1969 model year. It took the body of the 140 Series behind the windscreen but had its own longer nose, grille and wings to house the 3 litre B30 inline six, a stretched version of the four-cylinder B20. It was Volvo's first move into the luxury class since the PV60 ended in 1950 and its first six-cylinder car since the PV800. Fuel injection arrived in 1972, a major facelift in 1973 and large safety bumpers in 1974. A little over 146,000 were built before the 264 replaced it in 1975.
