1968 Saab Sonett

Jan 16th, 1974

In an attempt to rebound from the less-than-ideal purchase of the Chevy Vega, we decided to invest in this sleek sports car—a Saab. It was my first time owning a Saab, and to my pleasant surprise, it exceeded my expectations.

Promised a company car upon taking the sales position with Pickwick Records in San Jose, California, we bid farewell to the Vega and embarked on a cross-country journey in the Saab. The road trip turned out to be an unforgettable adventure!

Facing a tight timeline for my new position in California, we opted for a nearly non-stop drive. However, we did carve out a moment to take in the breathtaking scenery of the Bonneville Salt Flats.
