Vehicle Sighting - Saab 93 (c. late 1950s)

[Number_35]

We saw this beast last week in Walker, Minnesota. It looks to be set up for rally driving.

About 25 years ago, Car and Driver had a hilarious article by John Phillips called "Around New Zealand In A Can Opener", featuring a 1959 Saab 93. I had never seen one until a few days ago.

Two-stroke 750 cc 33 hp!

Very cool sighting!
I have an ‘old car book’ from the 70’s that has lots of pics of rally’s-racing mini’s and Saabs like this one!

Now that is one interesting TOAD. No plates on it, though

I have a massive book called "My Dad Had That Car". Great fun, but it only covers domestics 1920 - 1990. I wish they would do an import version.

I wondered if they were towing it to an off-road rally.

Hopefully a very gentle race as befitting it's condition and rarity.
