From pressing a chronograph pusher to watching the smooth sweep of a seconds hand, there’s something to be said about watching a mechanical object put into motion.

A model car evokes a very similar feeling. It beckons you to glide it across a table, to open its doors to get a closer look at its detailed interior and to pop the hood revealing a carbon copy engine. What’s more, there’s an element of playfulness between the two — a reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. Whether it’s watches, model cars or anything vintage, it’s the tactile experience that keeps us in the moment, and it’s what we love about all analog things.

In 1978, Saab introduced their 900 model — a front-engine, front-wheel drive platform with a double wishbone front suspension and beam-axle rear suspension powered by an inline four-cylinder engine. To this day, the 900 remains distinguishable in design with aeronautical cues in its design, and a deeply curved wraparound front windscreen and a curved dash.

This vintage Saab 900 Turbo dealer promo model car by Stahlberg of Finland features a sepia brown exterior with its classic, compact 4-door body style, black-silver accented bumper guards and grille, white headlights, red turn signals and signature 'turbine' wheels. Clear windows, front and rear windshields show off a detailed interior including seat cushion stitching and dash features. Measuring approximately 8 1/2” x 3” x 2 3/4”, it has more than enough presence to be eye-catching, but is equally subtle, and will seamlessly fit into display space, showing off your love for classic Saab with style!

This rare example is in excellent condition throughout showing normal wear and patina.
