The Saab story is only getting worse and worse. Last week, Saab reportedly sent 100 new vehicles to the crusher as part of the receivership process. The crushed cars include some pre-production 9-5 SportCombis and 9-4Xs. Reports say that Saab was able to save one of the 9-5 SportCombi for the Saab museum, which conflicts with reports of the Saab museum being closed and going into liquidation.

The museum, which has a collection of 120 different Saab vehicles are now up for sale. According to BringATrailer, if you want your chance to get your hands on a piece of the museum, you have to submit a bid by January 20th.

Never been a Saab fan, but breaking-up the museum collection is just a shame.

Where are all those SAAB fans protesting now? I am sure those people can buy one each and even rights for the museum.

On a curious and slightly related note, I actually spotted a 9-4x on the back of a flatbed trailer in Richmond Tuesday.

True, very true.
