But I think it was DKW. If it was Saab, I haven't seen the ad. I do have a copy of "Look Ma, no valves", and several other ads of the time. Just bought on eBay a copy of the ad where Eric Carlsson is rolling the white 96 down a snow-covered hill, but I don't think it was on purpose. With Eric, who knows though. The '63 is just about stripped down to the shell now; still have to remove the tranny and suspension, at which point I'll be doing a bit of rust repair (not much; it's a very solid car), and getting it ready for the paint shop.
