If this were an European version (I mean for the European market) the grille would be a '78 (Chrome surronding the grille but no more the vertical side amber lights, that in EU were half white and half amber, of course).
I am confused since I think in the USA the number of headlights grew up in the same period.

Looking better this is a 242 for the size of the front door and the shape of the quarter window, as seen through the windscreen.

Only on the 4-door and wagon. The 2-door kept the dual headlights through 1980.

It's correct that the rectangular chrome (aluminium) stripe beneath the bonnet (hood) and inside of the indicators suggest this is a 1978+, but the rectangular rear view mirrors indicates this is a 1980 model. Also indicated post 1978 is the colour matching headrests, which should have been black on a 1978 model.

I thoroughly believe this is a 1980 Volvo 242, and so is this one /vehicle_195208-Volvo-242-1979.html .

USA spec due to sealed beam headlights.
