Did you know that ''Saab'' cars (mid 60's) had 4spd shift on the steering column?

Talk about different...my buddy just found one in ex condition and when he told me that, I was doubtful...but..there it is,in his driveway.How cool is that?
Wounded Duck...bite me....I hadn't seen one so I was curious if others had.
Look closer at what is written.See those 'curly' things at the ends of words are called ''Question Marks''..which means I asked a question...savvy?
? = Question
! = Excitement or emphasis.*
* That means 'hard point'...
Shall I go on? Oops! There is another of those question thingys.
Excellent replies...info I did not know.I've never owned a foreign vehicle,only USA
products.The modern Saabs look a bit goofy...I suppose they always did.

I didn't know that but I'm not surprised. I had a 1958 Hillman Minx with four on the column. Not only that, the clutch was electrically operated by a ball-and-ring switch hidden in the end of the shift lever. When you grabbed it, the clutch was disengaged and the throttle linkage was forced back to idle. You shifted and released the lever, making the clutch re-engage and returning control of the throttle to you.
It was my first hop-up. I found the mechanism that closed the throttle and bypassed it so I could do full-throttle attempts to burn out.
In my only drag race I was humiliated by a '56 Chevy six-cylinder stick.
