We look forward to this event each year and we’re excited to have games, prizes, giveaways, sale pricing on most of our stock and much more. Doors will open to the ipd sales desk from 9:00am until 1:00pm and the swap meet and car show has been extended to run until 3:00pm. We hope to see you here for this great event.

Garage Sale is 9:00am to 3:00pm Saturday May 19, 2012

If you have a restored, nice original or hotrod Volvo that sticks out from the crowd and would like to inquire about entering it into the car show portion of the event please email details to cameron@ipdusa.com

Wanted: Your Volvo Story

If one of the items on your bucket list is to be published in one of ipd’s famous newsletters, here’s your chance. Don’t deny it, you know it’s there; if it’s not, add it now and send in your story so you can check it off your list. Even if you think it’s not print worthy, that’s okay, let us be the judge of that because we still want to hear your story. Tell us about how you caught the Volvo bug, the remedies you’ve tried to get rid of it and what finally put you over the edge to finally just give up and let the bug take it’s hold.

Some pictures of you and your Volvo would be great to include along with how your experience with ipd went. It would be great to also include any ipd upgrades you’ve added and how our customer service staff treated you.

We look forward to hearing your story and the opportunity to share it with other sick Volvo lovers who have caught the same bug.

Volvo Club of America Teams Up With ipd

When we read in a recent issue of the Volvo Club of America magazine that the club had a goal to double the membership this year, we immediately thought to ourselves that we could help the club out by offering quick and easy sign up through our website and customer service department. Now you can easily and quickly join VCOA simply by asking one of our staff to add a membership anytime you call in to place an order or by adding a membership to your shopping cart on our website. It’s just that easy! On the ipd website, look for the Membership sign up option under the “Universal Products” category. The Volvo Club of Americas bi-monthly full color publication “Rolling” features helpful tech tips and how to articles on common Volvo issues as well as interesting and inspiring stories on Volvos and the people who drive them. Regional chapter events and reports are also included along with several pages of classified ads for all sorts of things you need!
