Hi,
This is a long shot. I'm hoping someone has information on who organizes?ed the Baja, long ago. What I'm really researching is a postal stamp I saw many years ago representing the Baja, with a Saab 96 cresting (in air) a sandy hill. My father was one of the very first Saab dealers, ended up the oldest Saab dealer in the US before he finally retired 10 years ago. When I was young he ran lots of rallys, mostly in New England, bringing home trophy after trophy. I think he always dreamed of running the Baja, but he had a family and business on the east coast.... So I've been searching stamp collectors. Today I discovered, at a stamp show, that there was never a US Postage stamp like the one I'm looking for. Which means it was either a 'Cinderella', a local deal, or a promotion kind of thing. I'm thinking I need to find someone involved in the Baja 60's, 70's, maybe but probably not 80's. My Dad's getting up there and I'd love to find a copy of this for him!
Anyone?
Monica Bernstein, nee Bosshard for any old Saab fans. My Dad was Felix.

Me again, I'm thinking it's maybe 1969, or 70, when Erik Carlsson raced?

Call up Sal Fish at SCORE International, he will be able to tell you anything you need to know (if you can get ahold of him). If not him I'm sure someone at the office will know.
Or...
Post this question on Race-Dezert. There are some smart old timers there too.
