In Vermont, they charge you an extra fee every year you have a vanity plate, so I never got one for any of my VSaabs. I do have a very nice European Swedish plate on the back of my 1968 96 that has "68SAAB" on it.
You know that "Sonett" means roughly "So Neat" in Swedish? The story goes that one of the Saab executives first saw the prototype, he exclaimed "So neat" and that became the name. Could be a good vanity plate, but you wouldn't be the first to use it.
Jack Ashcraft had a plate on a two stroke that read "WE DING". I thought that was great! If you've ever heard a Saab two stroke run, you'd understand! Satch Carlson had a Sonett with a racing motor that required it getting up to temp before all the reciprocating parts got tight- it was "RODNOK". He had great names for cars- his rally 96 was "The Hawg of Steel" which is still around, and his rally Sonett was "The Piggue of Plastic".
