Volvo and the Boston Red Sox Join Forces
Are you a die-hard Red Sox fan? The type who had to endure the fabled “Curse of the Bambino” before the team won the World Series in 2004? The type who is present at every single game just to be able to watch them play and cheer them on? More importantly, were you there during their second World Series win? Well, if any of these questions apply to you then you may be interested in what the team and Volvo have in store.
The Boston Red Sox and Volvo have banded together to bring to the fold a commemorative Boston Red Sox themed Volvo C30 hatchback. The C30 hatchback, which carries a Passion Red finish, is Volvo’s way of celebrating the teams second World Series victory last 2007. The Red Sox C30 will sport the team’s logos on the car’s fenders, rear-glass hatch and floormats. Each car will have a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Anne Belec, CEO of Volvo Cars in North America, and Larry Lucchino, CEO of the Red Sox. The car will also have a plaque, which indicates the specific game the team won, their opponent and the final score.
There will be a total of 107 Red Sox themed Volvo C30 up for sale to match the team 107 wins. Each car will be numbered, with the label placed inside the car’s interiors. Volvo also plans to donate the 107th Red Sox C30 to The Red Sox Foundation for their charity raffle to be held this year. Current price for one of these collector’s item cars will be set at $29,465 with an additional $745 destination charge.
So for those die-hard Red Sox fans, here’s your chance to drive around town in one of these limited Volvo C30s and show the world how much you love the team.
