ron ,
please help me identify the part of a race car i just recieved. it's a saab hood for a '61-'64 (could also fit '56 - '60 models ) saab with number 32 om it. white with black number with saab airplane logo under number. the number is diagonally located to the right side of the hood. in touring 1 , 2 , and 3 who drove saab #32. in the programs and entry sheets i have it's not listed. also i have no photographs of any saab (either model 93A , 93B , 93F or 96) numbered like that or with that number. the hood came out of a barn attic in southeastern pennsylvania. it's the only saab part that was left from who ever raced that car.
any assistance would be greatly apreciated! i'd love to identify it and possibly keep it as it is! the original patina is incredible! any photos depicting the car or an owner registered in competition would be "super good"!
thank you!
chuck
it's another interesting saab race car part i've located! and always searching for more! anything from pictures to parts wanted!

Re: vintage saab identification needed
In my results sheets there are no Touring cars shown using the number 32. I only have results from events I contested. Some clubs didn't show car numbers and some didn't show car make. At least one set of results showed neither.

Re: vintage saab identification needed
Hi Chuck...I guess you're looking for me?
I ran your #32 through my database and the only Saab driver running that number was a Norton Richards of Bethlehem. Ran a Touring 1 Saab in 1963. As of now...I dont have much more to share. Let me look at a few other things.
BTW...easiest way to get a hold of me is direct.
hope all is well

Re: vintage saab identification needed
some bonus info on Mr. Richards....He ran the first event of the year in 1963, Spring Hershey and finished in 9th place with a time of 66.7744 in Touring Under 1300cc (does that help with Saab Model?) He was at Duryea, 1963...but is listed as a DNF (did not finish)...as did your Father Joe. They were both entered in Improved Touring 1 at this event. Perhaps the car was wrecked?
so...I guess this does not really confirm anything...but it is neat!?
I have no photos for Mr. Richards.
