What happened? These were the SAAB 99 years, where the car did not feature a bonnet badge; nor did the early C900s ... Like this 'T reg' from 1979. <http://www.pjgh.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/saab/soc_2005/image/900%20GLs%20001%20 Front.jpg> 1984 marked the end of the earlier C900 models, like the EMS and GL variants (certainly in most markets, although Australia did continue this badging much later), and the SAAB 99 was put to rest, so SAAB may well have introduced the "new" phase of C900s with the SAAB/Scania (Griffin) bonnet badge in 1984.
