The folks at GM Next, received an okay at the last minute to thankfully cover some of the 2008 Saab Owners Convention back on August 21st-24th, 2008.
I guess my message, urging that some film coverage be done was heard loud and clear! I’m glad that GM Next was there to cover the event, provide some overviews and interview some of the attendees for those of that were unable to attend as well as for the record.
They have filmed three separate segments, beginning with this one as an overview of the 2008 Saab Owners Convention. A thank you goes to them for providing Saab History this footage!
Here is their quote directly from their site:
It’s like the 5-year family reunion, only less cheek pinching, more people and more turbo. And the people that show up are probably not blood relatives, but rather brand relatives—all united by the fact that they share the same fierce passion—an obsession with the brand Saab. It’s the reunion of all reunions: The 2008 Saab Owners Convention.
This year’s family affair took place August 21-24th in Devens, Massachusetts, where more than 500 Saab enthusiasts from all over North America convened. For some it was their first Saab retreat, but for others it was an annual pilgrimage . And this year was extra exciting because it was the 30th anniversary of Saab’s Turbocharging Leadership, which dates back to 1978 with the Saab 99 Turbo. Other climatic features of the weekend included an exhibition of Saab classics, keynote speaker Steve Shannon, general manager of Saab Automobile and the long-awaited arrival of the Swedish honorary guest—the Saab 9-X BioHybrid.
