c. 1973 Saab Wagon

 

From Reid Cunningham: "Driving home from Vermont I took the back roads and ended up behind this lovely Saab wagon.  When I pulled into a local hardware store I followed to get a few quick shots.  I heard the owner telling another admirer of the car about its free-wheeling transmission...no engine braking with this manual!  The car had a set of Saab alloy wheels, I have no idea of they are period correct but they looked great (maybe from a Saab Sonnet?).  Small two door wagons were popular through the 70's, a species of car that has completely disappeared."

AL: here's another Saab-with-tailfins wagon, out in West Texas.
