This 1962 Quantum III is one of three examples built by Walter Kern and the Quantum Motor Corporation for presentation to Saab Motors USA as a concept car for the manufacturer. The car is said to have remained in California through the early 2000s, when it was relocated to Massachusetts following its acquisition by the son of an employee involved in the original build. The car was later on display at the Newport Car Museum in Rhode Island from the mid-2010s through the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2025. Featuring fiberglass bodywork finished in red, the car is powered by an 841cc two-stroke Saab inline-three mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. It rides on 15″ steel wheels and is further equipped with triple carburetors, faired-in headlights and taillights, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and VDO instrumentation. This Quantum III is now offered with a convertible top frame, a black soft top, and a clean Massachusetts title that lists the vehicle as a 1962 Saab.
