It's market is what the VW Beetle was for the Germans, a French 'people's car', affordable for everyone from all walks of life. I thought the Charleston had also had the extra two-tone paintline on the doors. A Story of one little Car – DANIELLA ON DESIGN Craig

I get right specifically to the point and order French Fries with Ketchup! Craig

8 years from now, you can buy a brand new '32 _________________ (<---make of your choice). Craig

They were driveable cars. Craig

A Model A Day! Not exactly a barn find but close enough!

You are NOT alone! Craig -
I would say a US-made car like a Cadillac, or an ACD product, as it has 'USA' markings on the back of it. Craig

Now that the mystery has been solved, let's see some more photos of your CL9000. Craig

The badge-engineering did not go over at all with dedicated Saab-o-philes who liked the idiosyncrasies of the original product. Slapping a Saab-like grille on a Subaru and a mid-size SUV common platform already shared under different GM brand labels totally alienated buyers and Saab dealers. Craig

I highly doubt it. It will be easier to find Station Wagon kit and modify it into a pickup. Craig

I have seen those used on the Chevrolet Step-Vans in various places inside, fastening various interior panels in place. Craig

I believe called all their signal-seeker radios 'Wonder Bar' for certain years. Identifying Vintage Or Antique Car Radios By Image Identifying Vintage Or Antique Car Radios By Image | Antique, Retro, Vintage Tube Radios & Bluetooth | Retro Radio Shop Craig

Did it have a Wonder Bar radio? Craig

GM gradually cheapened it down to a price with lowball trim material in the late 1970's, and forgot about the higher-end Mercedes Benz and BMW market they once competed in with the Diplomat. In later years, GM destroyed SAAB with brand dilution by badge-engineering, and using crap trim from other divisions, especially this one. 9-7X Aero: LS2-Powered Saab You've Never Heard Of | DrivingLine Craig

Thanks for showing these assembly photos of it. Here are some of it completed: Craig

The body that is visible in the photos is from a supplier like Boyertown, or similar. Ahead of the cowl is where we need to see additional photos, as well as the instrument cluster. Craig

I bet you still felt good being 'rebellious' like that! Craig

First off, my dad was NOT a 'car guy'. While raising a family, he was limited to generally unexciting company cars, from when I was born, until the mid-1970's. The 1964 Plymouth wagon with the pushbutton automatic was probably his nicest company car. Not until the later 1970's was he able to afford anything considered a luxury car, and then it was a Buick Electra 225, then a Lincoln Town Coupe, and downsized Cadillacs after that, which by then were plastic wood malaise cars. The only car that left an impression on me was my mom's 1950 Studebaker Champion she owned in the early 1960's, which heightened my awareness of the marque and got me interested in them from a very early age, and still own a few examples of them to this day.

That is cool. A pre-Civic Z600. Craig

I believe they were supplied by Borrani; not Kelsey-Hayes. Look for a Borrani stamp somewhere on it. Craig

Call A-1 Truck Collision Inc. in Chicopee, and tell you now own one of their old rigs and cannot read the VIN. Perhaps they have some old records of the truck in their files, be it insurance documents, license papers, etc. Craig

They are a very cool, well-built Class-8 truck! The Premium interior had many Lincoln components used inside, including the heating & air conditioning, same type of carpeting, etc. It had the most 'car-like' interior of any Class-8 truck at the time. We called the CL9000's with the Air Ride cab the Cookie Monster. Craig

Also windshield/no windshield, cowl-mounted lamps on the, and not the other, and no pinstriping on the car in the second photo. I wonder if the car in the second photo is a lower-trim (and engine hp) level car than the top one. Craig
