22 years old ad for a Saab convention

This ad appeared in Svet Motoru (World of engines), a long term existing czech car enthusiasts magazine. Year : 1991, month : most probably august.

It's inviting all fans of Saab to a convention on 14, and 15. September 1991 which will take place in Brno, Czech Republic. On the agenda is a meeting, Saab cars, a service check as well as a demostration of the SAAB 9000 Turbo and SAAB 900 Turbo Sport.

It's issued by a SAAB Club Czechoslovakia and SAAB Service in Usti nad Orlici, which might be the same service which recently bought some of the unique Saab pieces.

A nice piece of history.

A Hollywood Saab

Our roadtrip (kind of) seems to get an unplanned movie background. The Bullitt movie locations thing was something I wanted to do for more than 10 years but even been in San Francisco several times, there was never time for this. But Hollywood was completely unplanned due some circumstances. I love these unexpected situations, which just appear from nowhere.

One of them was a short trip to Hollywood. One of the websites describing best ways to the Hollywood sign is saying, you should go from Mulholland Drive. So we did, of course in wrong direction. But we've driven a while on the street known from the famous David Lynch movie :) 

But our GPS (otherwise strange) has the sign as a point of interest. This second option worked flawlessly and there was also a Saab nearby. It wasn't an ideal parking position, but ... on the right side of the street ... it's a 900 SE 2.0 Turbo (click for higher resolution). 

ohh and ...

The Streets of San Francisco

In the streets of San Francisco there is a pretty good chance to meet a Saab on the road every day. Multiple of them. According to my experience the frequence is maybe simillar to England. Mostly 9-3 II and older 9-5. Like. The photos are form yesterday. More to come soon.

A 9-3 convertible overtook us at the entrance to the Golden Gate

Klara Power Saab 900 in the Classic car of the year 2012 competition

The name tells it - klasyczny.com is a web magazine about classic cars. Recently they announced the Classic car of the year 2012 competition. Nominated are top 15 renovation projects of classics in Poland. There are some very interesting projects and one of the nominees is the Saab classic 900 Klara Power.

Klara Power, started by a Saab fanatic in Poland, is a wonderful charity project for raising money for a sick little girl - Klara. As klasyczny.com writes in an interview [GOOGLE TRANSLATED] :
 

"Klara Power Initiative came suddenly, when a friend from work gave birth to a sick little girl - Klara. We knew that help is needed. Slowly - from small collections of money, the annual share of the 1% tax for Klara, the auctions of built vehicles - an initiative was born. Recently, we were able to officially register the Klara Power Association. Our goal is to help Klara in living  a normal life, especially to be independent, thanks to the necessary surgery and rehabilitation. The Association also plans to help other children in need."

To connect a classic car project with a charity is actually a great idea. Now, Klara Power is a nominee in the Classic Car of the Year 2012. This nomination circulates around in the Saab related internet and has definitely a place here on Saabism.

It has my vote. There isn't a deadline stated, so if you want to support this idea, you should do it now.

Where to vote ? Here : Classic car of the year 2012. Beneath the photographs is a vote poll. If you want to read the text in english, click for the Google translation. I was able to vote only on the original polish link. Be patient until all pictures are loaded ...

Now it's your turn to vote for the classic 900 Klara Power Saab.

A Saab 900 classic in our fanclub

It was still in the club, but standing at least 3 years somewhere in the garage without movement. So it changed the owner within the fanclub. A friend of mine bought it, a 1987 Saab 900 classic, an american one.

I have no clue about the history and it needs a lot of work to be good in shape. But important is, the revitalisation started and there is a will to finish it.

So here it is :

A very stylish ...

I want. Now. In cabrio please. Yes, 12 o'clock is just fine ...

Sometimes the odometer plays nice number games. I'm coming soon to a "number anniversary", but before, this is a friend's classic 900. I have no clue how he did that, but I trust it's not a fake :)

Top Gear once covered an interesting study of Saab 900 Classic Convertible from the Frankfurt Motor in 1983. It appeared recently on the net.

The study shows a different soft-top and a rear window which could be opened separately.

The video starts exact where it should, at the Saab 900 part.
