The Saab 900 Convertible playing cards

The interest in this pack is not in the (standard international) faces but rather in the backs. For maximum effect, the cards need to be in a particular order, as listed on the back of one of the Jokers. The backs of all the cards in the pack can then be flicked to reveal all the stages in the conversion of the Saab 900 into a cabriolet (convertible). It’s a nifty piece of advertising, even if of little use as a serious pack of cards. The Saab name and logo naturally appear on every card back. Some of the backs are shown here to indicate a few of the stages in the conversion. See the box►
