Make and model are enough to get a point.

Hi Fabrizio:

Regarding the last two, sometimes the planets and the stars just line up perfectly.

For the last month or so, I have been "touring" Sweden, Norway and Finland via the Internet visiting many dozens of State, City and Corporate websites to gather more research on my current major project, US vehicles used overseas.

In the case of the Fargo, this marque was quite popular in all three countries but due to the lack of information on most of the photos, I had to access other sites here in the US to determine years and models if possible.  I have bookmarked what I imagine is the same site where you got your puzzle photo and found it immediately.

As to the Volvo, remember, I worked for Volvo for 12 years and lived in Sweden for 2 years and I recognized the basic vehicle at once.  Just a little trolling through my Volvo bookmarks came up with the same photo.

I am, in this context, preparing for my eventual achieving of Professional status on this Forum at which point I will be lost as I probably cannot answer 1 in 200 of the puzzles that reach that level.  So, I will start up on filling out other areas in the Forum from my photo archives.  US cars, busses and trucks used overseas, filling stations, police photos etc. etc. all with a "Non US" flavour.  I hope the contributions will be of interest to the members here.

Thanks for the opportunities and the points!! 

Bill
