Depends on what you expect, I guess Posted by NCCaniac [Email] (#352) [Profile/Gallery] (more from NCCaniac) on Fri, 5 Jun 2015 12:00:08 In Reply to: Saabs get no respect, even from car shows, MI-Roger [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 4 Jun 2015 18:09:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I entered my 1971 Sonett III in the local car show sponsored by the city for the first time last month (this is the 3rd year of the show). I did not win an award (did not expect to as my Sonett could use a repaint) but my little Saab got as much (if not more interest) from show attendees than a beautifully restored 1941 Ford pickup parked right next to me that did win a best in show award.
I heard everything from , "Wow! I have not seen one of those in years," to "What is that?!?" I almost wore out my voice repeating history of the Sonett as a model and information Saab in general. It was also a big hit with kids.
