WE should be promoting Saabs as collector cars

An earlier post was lamenting the fact you never see Saabs at Barret Jackson and it got me thinking. It's really in all of our best interest to generate interest in Saabs. It'll make the value go up and make it more feasible to restore cars--which will also help keep parts more available. Saab owners march to a different drummer which tends to make us kind of clannish, we want to hang with other Saab owners. We really need to get out there in the world of collector cars, enter our cars in shows, go to cruise-ins, join car clubs. I took my '93 TC to a cruise last summer and had a lot of possitive interest in my car. People were very friendly and I didn't feel the least bit out of place. In addition it was really fun. Personally I think interest American muscle cars is peaking, your seeing more and more unusual cars at car shows. Someone brought a late sixties Subaru to one of the car shows we have in our town last summer and people were walking past the Chevelles and GTO's and swarming the thing. I think car guys (and girls) are starting to look for something out of the ordinary and Saabs would certainly fill the bill. In addition, with the American cars getting so expensive they're getting out of reach of a lot of the "oridinary Joes" who are the backbone of the collector car thing. If we don't promote them, who's going to?
