A small story, perhaps interesting.
As many of you know, I was employed by Volvo and SAAB over a 22 year period, about equally split.
During my time with Volvo, I was stationed in the Gothenburg area for 2 years, 1974/1976, During this time, the Kalmar/DAF
Postal vehicle was in service in the city.
While employed by SAAB, on a visit to Gothenburg in 1985/1986, I saw an advertisement for used municipal vehicles in the local newspaper, including a couple of examples of the Kalmar/DAF. I visited the locale and discussed the vehicles with the manager and we sort of agreed I would bid on one of them.
Sadly, I got called to a major meeting that day that lasted several hours and then my plane reservation for my trip back to the US meant that I could not return to complete the purchase.
This quiz post made me wonder what might have happened if I had completed the purchase.
Probably still sitting in my driveway doing grocery runs.
