Safety awards for Sweden's finest

Swedish cars are synonymous with safety. Both Volvo and Saab tookto the world rally stages in the 1960s to prove how rugged and sturdytheir cars were.

TV footage of the time showed Saab's jumping the crest of a hillbefore barrel rolling into a ditch. As with today's rallying, a groupof spectators helped to put the car back on its wheels before thedriver, although little shaken, went on his way with seemingly nodamage to his trusty Saab.
