The Volvo 164 is a six-cylinder sedan unveiled by Volvo Cars at the Paris Motor Show early in October 1968[1] for the 1969 model year.[citation needed] The company built 146,008 examples before production ended in 1975. Introduced with a faux wood dashboard, a six-cylinder engine and an optional leather interior, the 164 represented Volvo's first venture into the luxury segment since the demise of the PV 60 in 1950. Jan Wilsgaard designed the 164 — initially in the late 1950s as a concept car called the P358 powered by a V8. The P358 was cancelled when the home market was found too small. The front styling was inspired both by the Wolseley 6/99 and the Volvo P1900. In 1968 Volvo introduced the 164 as an extension of the 140-series, equipping the 164 with a 3.0-litre straight-6. The bodywork of the 164 from the windshield forward differed from the 140: including a longer bonnet accommodating the bigger engine and a larger, more prominent grille. The height and width were the same as the 140 series. The interior was equipped with a faux wood dash and optional leather. The 164 was Volvo's answer to the Mercedes-Benz 250 and Jaguar XJ6.[2] Despite its relatively heavy weight, the 164 compared favourably in terms of fuel economy to other 6-cylinder European cars of similar dimensions such as the BMW 530.[3] In 1973 the 164 received the same makeover as the 140, i.e. different taillights and slightly revised sheetmetal, completely revised dash which included face vents (eliminating the need for the quarterlights in the side windows although these continued for another year,) and the grille was now a somewhat smaller plastic item, as the front bumper was now straight rather than dipping down under the grille. In 1974 the Volvo 164 became one of the earliest cars (along with the 1966 Cadillac, 1970 Lincoln Continental, 1971 Saab 99 and 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL) to offer heated seats.[4] Cars built for the final (1975) model year show small signs of a facelift: new front seats with a centrally mounted handbrake and different badging on the trunklid as well as 6 segment taillights. For a more detailed list of changes see the Volvo 140 Series as all changes occurred on both 140 and 164 simultaneously. The 164 was replaced by the 264 which was powered by the PRV 2.7-liter V6 engine
