Passionate About Volvos for More Than 50 Years

The story of Jim Fisher Volvo began in 1957 with dinner at a Vancouver, Washington hotel. Jim & Ruth Fisher were guests of Gene Klein, a rather flamboyant businessman who later achieved fame as the owner of the San Diego Chargers. Among other ventures, Klein served as the western states distributor of Volvos, which at the time were revered in Europe, but relatively unknown in America. Klein's mission was to convince the Fishers to bring Volvo to Portland. They agreed, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Fifty-three years later you'll still find Ruth at the dealership almost every day, managing the company that bears her family's name. Unfortunately Jim has passed on, but a second generation, Jim Jr. and Jane, are as passionate about Volvos as their parents and are both active in the company's management.

Known for its iconic neon "big blue Volvo sign", the five-story Jim Fisher Volvo building houses Oregon's largest selection of new and pre-owned Volvos. With its entire inventory of new vehicles displayed indoors, the dealership offers customers dry shopping, even during Portland's rainiest months. The Jim Fisher Volvo building also houses complete service and parts departments as well as an award-winning collision center.
