200 Series Volvo certainly ran with lights on (both front and rear). Dad;s first one was around '78/'79. Regularly showed a bulb failure warning on the dash to do with those lights, even though there wasn't a bulb fault.
I remember one of Jasper Carrot's sketches including the line "why don't they switch those bl..dy lights off" in one of his late '70s / early '80s shows. My 2008 C30 had DRL front and rear. Can't remember what sister's first 340 in early 80s did
Not sure about my 2006 Saab, will have to take a look next time I'm out in it
