Final answer:
The question appears to refer to a scenario from literature or fiction, but no specific event fits the description provided. In terms of advertising claims related to vehicle durability, the Volvo Company's 1980s commercial depicted their car surviving a monster truck drive-over due to undisclosed reinforcements, later uncovered by the FTC.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of your question looks like it may be in reference to a book or story rather than a real event, as there is no context in literature or history where a character named Swede alters Andreeson's car. However, based on the content provided, I can offer you an explanation from an advertising perspective. In the late 1980s, the Volvo Company made a television advertisement where a monster truck was shown driving over various cars and crushing their roofs, with the notable exception of a Volvo. This advertisement aimed to demonstrate the superior strength and safety of the Volvo's construction.
Yet, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found in 1991 that the advertised depiction of durability and safety was misleading. The investigation revealed that the Volvo used in the commercial had been specially reinforced with an additional steel framework to withstand the monster truck. On the other hand, the other cars' structural integrity was deliberately weakened by cutting their roof supports, making them more susceptible to being crushed. This difference in how the cars were prepared for the commercial misrepresented the Volvo's actual robustness compared to other brands.
