## Resource

Interesting Things with JC #1690: "The Legendary Saab Convertible" – Saab engineers were reinforcing a convertible for winter driving while much of the company doubted anyone wanted one. Dealers and customers kept demanding the car, and what began as an unlikely experiment grew into nearly 300,000 convertibles built over twenty-five years. This episode was inspired by our friends at Superior Auto Sales.
