The Saab 94 Sonett Super Sport was in production between 1955 and 1957. The fiberglass body sat on an aluminum frame. It weighed 1323 pounds and was powered by a three cylinder 748cc two stroke engine. Only six Super Sports were made and they all survive. Two are on display at the Saab Museum in Trollhattan, Sweden.
The Volkswagenwerk factory was destroyed following a series of Allied air raids. That abruptly stopped the production of missile and artillery systems that were being built there. Shortly after the war British engineers found a completely intact KdF-Wagen as well as the machines, tooling and parts used in its production stored in the basement of the facility.
An effort to speed up production resulted in a pickup and gooseneck trailer be assembled from the parts found in the basement. It was used to transport the freshly assembled KdF-Wagens to the inventory lot. In 1947 as production was increased the transporter was disassembled and used for parts.
