In 1939 there was a Jaguar SS, this type designation did not survive WW II. In the '50s there was another type Jaguar SS XK, made only in a run of about 16 cars. Where I am the combination SS (or SD) is not used on licence plates. In 1972 there was a SAAB 99 SSE though, for the US market only, when the new 99 EMS was not yet available, see http://homepage.mac.com/ljwest/PhotoAlbum3.html ------------------------------------------- - NOT IN MY NAME - MH '72 97 '77 96 '78 95 '79 96 http://go.to/saab96 Although the letters "SS" have a dark connotation, Chevrolet used that designation over the years to apply to its so-called "muscle cars". eg. Camaro SS, Impala SS, Chevelle SS... I don't believe the people buying or naming those cars were particularily anti-semitic or insensitive.
