Greetings Saab Family!
The Saab Club of America (SCNA) is excited to celebrate our favorite Swedish brand July 19th-23rd just outside of Chicago! For 2023 we have partnered with local enthusiasts in the Windy City to host the 40th Saab Owners Convention (SOC) at the Hilton Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center.
SOC ‘23 will kick off with a special track event at the purpose-built Autobahn Circuit on Wednesday July 19th in Joliet, IL followed by traditional activities starting later that Thursday and into the weekend in Oak Brook, IL!
More than ever, we see the importance of coming together as a community to support the future of Saab so follow the conversation on Facebook by joining SOC 2023 Attendees for the latest buzz about this highly anticipated event.
