The Errol Flynn convertible did not survive, but a recreation of it has been made. It is a handsome car. There were at least 2 convertible sedans, I think by Derham.
and yes, the boat tail is a mess
The 9-7X still had the crap quality of the Chevy it was. There wasn’t a lot of market overlap between fans of Chevy trucks and fans of Saabs. The 9-2X was interesting as a WRX that GM would discount. The Saab 9-3 was mostly Opel-derived
You can see where this approach led. Once Bonneville- LeSabre-88 become the same car, two go away.
This may be a dumb question, but why bother with power steering? Just use the original manual steering. I don’t think this thing is going to be turning any hot laps. Or has it already been switched to Toyota steering ?
