Yeah, those '60s era Saabs were a blast to drive. I had an elderly Norwegian neighbor that drove one. This was in the late '60s, he had to be in his '70s and he drove it like he was in his '20s, with his wife sitting by his side. I always thought it funny to see the blue hairs hauling ass - both of them grinning all the way. The smoke out the tailpipe matched their hair. The Johnson's were cool folks.
I lived in a unique neighborhood then. The Saab folks held Christian Study classes in their home for the neighborhood kids and their next door neighbors held Wiccan meetings for adults in theirs.
