I hate to be picky, but the 1800 wagon is not a Kamm back.
The Kamm back (Kamm Tail in Europe) is defined by a cut off back end (see
Chevy Vega Kammback). The idea was first promulgated by Wunibald Kamm in the
1930's. The volvo is too sloped to be a Kammback.
Although wikipedia calls the Prius one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kammback

Proud owner of a 1973 Chevy Vega Kammback wagon. Was a great car, no matter
what anyone says.
