Svar till: 1955 SAAB 92b rear brake hose routing
Hello Björn and Kjell-Åke,
Thanks again for your pictures and advice….. Sorry to have taken so long to organize my pictures of Plutrick. There were quite a few pictures so I had to learn how to create a link. Which I have now done! But first a little background for context…
My personal history with SAAB goes back to 1979 when I bought my first, a 1969 96 in Falmouth, Massachusetts, USA. It was terribly rusty but it was a great driver. I didn’t know then that it would start a long relationship with the SAAB brand. I wont bore everyone with my details but through the years I have owned 20 SAABs of various models…(nothing newer than 1991 😊). But the 92 always had a special place in my heart since it was the original. In the USA, SAAB was not imported till around 1959. Therefore the 92 and 92b were never available. I saw one at SAAB NA HQ in Orange, Connecticut in the mid 1980’s. But they were never available for sale…. But I always wanted one!
Fast forward to today and I live in Tallinn, Estonia. I was looking over the local classified ads last year and found a “1954 SAAB 92b” for sale. The owner had been a dealer SAAB technician in Tallinn and imported it from Sweden around 2005. He spent several years doing a nearly full restoration. The paintwork was none through the SAAB dealer and he spent countless hours on metalwork. His efforts earned a 99% Original rating and given a historic license plate 0019 in 2007. But it had been sitting for several years and it appeared he lost interest. So we made a deal and I purchased Plutrick, a 1955 92b #13068.
The link provided is to many pictures that are not in any order. Most all of them are from the previous owner and show that a lot of sweat and tears were given to get Plutrick to its current condition. It currently sleeps with my 1983 99GL and 1991 900 Turbo S. I am hoping to get a first drive someday sunny soon!
