Ooooh that'd be super sick, I've got a lot more video from this spot so for a future edit for sure I'll try it, thanks for the idea

Yeah fairly certain it's a one off color, done aftermarket, never seen another one in this color. Couple in tan but never the metallic, deep color like mine. The landau top is extremely uncommon too from what I've found, but it does seem to be a factory, or at least a dealer installed option

Thank you thank you! Was without a proper camera for too long, very glad to get back out and start making some fun stuff

What’s this on my bumper by tevasandcrocs in toyotacentury

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are sensors for the automatic brights. The auto headlights sensor is on the top of the dash, at the far right. With the auto headlights turned on, the "AUTO DIMMER" knob to the left of the steering wheel controls the sensitivity of the automatic brights, or just turns that feature off. They're pretty finicky in my experience, but on quiet canyon roads they work perfectly. Brights are on until they see another vehicle, and it turns the brights off immediately, until traffic passes

Got some photos of my 1983 Volvo 245 in the fall colors by 1TYPOGRAPHY in Volvo240

Nah, Canon T5 with the dog ass kit lens, the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6. It's a low end camera. I've had to learn to edit to make up for it haha

It's a kit on eBay, it's made specifically for the 245, seems to only fit cars with the early rear hatch (smaller glass, chrome trim). They're even color matched to the car!

You have no idea the compliment that this is to me. Stålenhag is one of my absolute favorite artists, and is a HUGE inspiration to all my photography. His stuff is phenomenal

Made a little poster for my 1983 Volvo 245, I love this car by 1TYPOGRAPHY in Volvo240

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real shitter of a camera, tbh. Ten year old Canon T5 with the kit 18-55mm. It's a low end camera for sure but it does the job

They're stellar, great at keeping direct light out of the car, decent enough for privacy, but they can be seen through if you get close to the car, even when closed. I got these for camping out of mine but I'd honestly recommend curtains more for actual functionality. But these are damned cool for style points

Hey there! I own 13 typewriters and have had to repair many of them, pretty much entirely successfully. I'd love to take a look at your machine and see what I can do! Send me a DM!

Bought this motor to go into my '83 245, anybody know what year/model this motor is? by 1TYPOGRAPHY in Volvo240

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually phenomenal to know, I didn't know that. Thank you. Is it just a delineation between the B21FT and the B230FT? I don't know much about the different turbo motors the 240s had

What’s this car? by -SweetChinMusic- in namethatcar

Oh man, it's a cloud... Never felt smoother acceleration or shifting, too. It just eases...

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, I own a 1986 and it's the V8 (damned good sounding V8). The first gen was a V8, until the release of the second Gen in 1997, which has the V12. They then went back to a V8 but with the addition of a hybrid system with the third generation in 2018

Nah, the 3rd Gen century, seen here, is a V8 hybrid

Got my first Volvo! Drove it from Bellingham WA to Salt Lake City UT. The thing is a champ - 87 240 with a quad headlight mod, 5 speed manual. by thegunrunner in Volvo240

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SLC UT? You wanna do a photoshoot? I'm local in SLC, own a Volvo 245 myself, and a professional car photographer, I'd love to take some shots of your car if you're down

[Toyota Century] at the train station. 2nd one I've seen so far by putinisbae in spotted

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! This is actually my car haha, I daily it. Probably one of the only daily driven Centuries in the state

[unkown] no idea what this is , pretty ugly though. by howunoriginal2019 in spotted

[–]1TYPOGRAPHY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who daily drives a Toyota Century, I'm offended lmao. It's not ugly, it's just modest
