The color of my first Saab... Posted by DietrichOS [Email] ![]() ![]() |
My first Saab (my first car actually) was a 1984 Sedan, non-turbo, stickshift, 8v. Industructible, but after going through 2 major accidents in its life and three other minor ones, it was simply time to let it go, which I did a few months ago.
I have come to realize that the color of that car was probably pretty rare, never seen another one on the road, never seen one that color for sale in the classifieds.
My dad (who bought it new) called it "Maroon," everyone else said my car was brown. In reality it was brown with a red tint to it (does that make sense?) and maroon was probably the most appropriate descriptor of the color.
I was just wondering if anyone knew the official name for that color from the factory, or if they knew the actual color code from the factory. I guess if I still had the car I could look under the hood. Darn it.
Does anyone else have a C900 in this color? Or does anyone know what years it was made from?
Thanks a lot. Hope everyone is having a great weekend...
