I was in Sweden in September and saw a Saab of this vintage that they had taken in a whole different direction. They had converted it into a vehicle carrier! They had chopped it off behind the front seat and stretched the chassis enough to put a flat bed on it long enough to accommodate a smallish car. To support the load, they had tandem, single wheel axles. Unfortunately, he was just pulling out of a gas station as I was pulling in and I could not get a picture. Bill

You've just gotta love the four fuel pumps in the trunk! Hmm, four Bosch 044 pumps @ $300 each....

I love it with the steelies on it. It makes it look a lot like what my Grandma still drives.
