True, that's one franchise that is a shame they couldn't remain independent. I remember some neat Triumph sport coupes/roadsters as well.
My buddy had a Saab in the ‘60s, which we took on a five day road trip into Canada. It was an odd car to say the least: three cylinders, a two stroke engine requiring you to add a measured amount of oil with the gas when filling up, and a small lever under the dash which disengaged the drive train allowing you to freewheel like a giant roller skate. Although, it did have an outstanding heater.
