Story is Chrysler Corp. sold CKD-vehicles to the Swedish ANA-company (Autobile factory of Nyköping). In 1960 ANA was bought by SAAB and thus became involved in selling brands like Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler, Standard and Simca including the tractor brand Massey-Ferguson on the Swedish market.
Since the Swedish SAAB-car manufacturer did not offer suitable sedan models for the Police themselves, they competed with Volvo simply by offering Valiants which were part of their business. |
I love finding out things like that. CKD Valiants in Sweden. Wow. Thanks! _________________ Central Jersey VW Society

I saw this picture of the 401 (near Toronto) on wikipedia (60s?).
Looks like the traffic situation hasn't changed:

That's in my hometown, Fairfield, CA.
The Wonder World was some kind of innovative department store built in the 60s. When I was growing up in the 80s, it was split into a building supply shop on one side and a gigantic liquor store called "The Liquor Barn" on the other. The WOW sign was still there.
Torn down in the early 90s. A Food Maxx is there now, I think (been a while since I last visited).
Lots of folks had VW's back in the 80s. _________________ (o\_!_/o) |
