This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us. Never before (and probably never again) will all the guests of the IntSAAB community, the members of the Swedish SAAB Club and the citizens of Sweden have such a full attention about the early SAAB cars in Linköping. This has been a long time dream to make possible and the- re are so many hours of preparation that finally will boom at one single occasion to our common joy. Together with the IntSAAB 2016 event there are also several anniversaries to respect; The Ur-SAAB internal premiere (1946) and the official SAAB 92 premiere the year after (10th of june 1947), the launch of the Sonett (1956), the SAAB 96 V4 presentation (1966), the Swedish SAAB Club 40 years anniversary (1976), the 9000 Talladega Run (1986), and so on. And of course it is the SAAB 95’s hometown. We have tried to give all of them a piece of attention during this event, but we have also worked hard on finding things to display that are a little extra and different from our ordinary knowledge of SAAB. But the main ingredient of an IntSAAB event is always the participants themselves and their vehic- les. So please enjoy your stay and be proud to show your cars In the city of Linköping the citizens are while entering the birth place of many special SAAB vehicles. used to see lot of SAAB on the streets. But The cities of Vadstena and Linköping welcome us all to a very maybe a little bit different compared to special weekend. the SAABs of Trollhättan…. Dick Ström
