In late 1984 I was in the Navy, about to deploy to Sicily, from Maine. I heard there was a pretty good overseas purchase program for new cars, but had no idea what make/model to consider. Our sons were 14 and 12 years old, and reading car magazines regularly, so I asked for their input. Oops! They both said Saab 900 Turbo hatchback. Something I would never have considered! You guessed it – I ordered one from overseas in Sigonella, Sicily, for U.S. delivery. Admiral blue, blue velour, Turbo, 5-speed. When I got back from Sicily, the car was delivered to JMK Saab in New Jersey. I flew down and picked it up. My first impression was that it had controls & gauges enough to be an airplane. Drove back to Maine, loved it. Now I’ve enjoyed ten Saab 900 Turbos (4 SPG’s), and currently enjoy a Talladega Red ’90 SPG and an Imola Red ’99 9-5 SE. Totally different cars, and I love them both.
