Yup, I noticed the NAPA battery right away!
I think this car would be loads of fun to drive.
Maybe Johan can give us his opinion on Saab.

Always had a soft spot for this round Saab 95. Still have a NEO 1:43 Blue and White one somewhere. Yes, too bad haven't heard from Johan. So many others....

Keep looking, Gene, it will grow on you.
(like it has for me, over the years)

I see some Pontiac-like styling cues in that narrow center front grille and the hood creases. Treatment in rear is more like a Mopar wagon, Dodge perhaps.

In a pinch this design has good functionality with 7-passenger seating, but it's the V-4 that makes me curious about how it drives. (see the little V-4 emblem on the lower front fenders)
