You want to talk about a car that's difficult to pin to a specific year model range, it'd be the 200-series Volvo sedans.
They were imported into the USA starting with the 1975 model year and sold, largely unchanged, for almost twenty years, clean through 1993.
The closest you can come is via the headlights, since when they were first imported U.S. automotive regulations decreed that headlamps shall be round sealed beam units in one of two sizes. So the very first 240s sold in America sported dual 7" round sealed beam headlights and went through a variety of dual- and quad-headlight units in both round and square for the next decade.
The Black DL sedan in the photos has composite headlamp assemblies with replaceable bulbs and a center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL), aka the "third brake light", in the rear window, both of which mark it as an '86-to-'93 vehicle. We'll split the difference and call it a 1989 for site indexing purposes.
It was photographed in August of 2024 using a Canon EOS-1D Mark IV & EF 24-105mm f/4L IS zoom lens.
