1966 Volvo 122S wagon Rental Added in Minnesota

Old Car Rentals has added the 1966 Volvo 122S wagon to its roster through the USA Movie Cars network. This vehicle is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and producers working on film, television, or commercial projects in the region now have another option for period-appropriate transportation. The listing highlights a light green exterior paired with a finished custom interior, giving crews a clean vintage wagon that can support a range of scene requirements without needing additional preparation.

Spotlight on this 1966 Volvo 122S wagon

The 1966 Volvo 122S wagon carries the classic Amazon body style and presents in light green with matching green interior tones. Source details note a B18 engine fitted with a B20 cam, manual transmission, and five-door configuration. A high-end custom interior has been completed recently, and the overall condition is listed as excellent. These elements combine to create a vehicle that reads as authentic 1960s transportation while offering a finished appearance suitable for close camera work.

Producers can review the wagon’s lines and proportions in the supplied photos to judge how it will sit in frame. The manual transmission and period-correct styling give it a grounded presence that modern vehicles cannot replicate. Because the car is already in Minneapolis, Minnesota, local crews can reduce transport time and focus resources on other production needs.

Old Car Rentals and the Minnesota Picture Car Market

Old Car Rentals works with USA Movie Cars to connect productions with vehicles located across the country. In Minnesota the network links to state-level resources such as Minnesota Picture Cars, allowing location managers and picture car coordinators to search for local options more efficiently. This structure helps crews filming in Minneapolis, Minnesota, identify suitable vehicles without starting every search from scratch.

The same network extends to regional sites like Midwest Movie Cars, giving producers access to a wider pool when a single state cannot supply every requirement. USA Movie Cars maintains these connections so that a production based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, can still locate a needed vehicle quickly if the first choice is already booked elsewhere. The approach keeps the focus on matching the right car to the scene rather than on long-distance logistics.

History of the 1966 Volvo 122S wagon

The Volvo 122 series, often called the Amazon, entered production in the 1950s and remained in the lineup through the late 1960s. The wagon body style provided extra cargo space while retaining the same front-end design and mechanical layout used on the sedans. By 1966 the model had established a reputation for durability, which helped it appear in everyday use across North America and Europe.

The five-door configuration and boxy profile place the vehicle firmly in the mid-1960s visual language. Its straightforward lines and functional design make it recognizable to audiences as a period family or utility vehicle without requiring further explanation on screen. Source material confirms the light green exterior and manual transmission, both consistent with factory offerings from that year.

Minnesota Picture Car Rental Uses

Crews can place the wagon in establishing shots of suburban or rural Minnesota settings to reinforce a 1960s timeframe. Its light green color and station-wagon shape supply background texture in street scenes or parking-lot sequences where multiple vehicles are visible. The finished interior also supports tighter shots inside the car if dialogue or action takes place there.

Beyond narrative work, the vehicle fits commercial shoots that need authentic period props, music-video sequences set in the same era, and still photography assignments that require vintage transportation. Event producers have used similar wagons for branded activations or photo opportunities where guests expect vehicles from the 1960s. Because the car is already in Minneapolis, Minnesota, these uses become practical for productions that would otherwise face higher shipping costs.
