Black Saab 99 Turbo Featured in Human League's "Don't You Want Me, Baby?" Video

Okay, I grew up in the MTV generation and remember this video clearly from my first summer of hours watching MTV, I believe it was around 1982 or 83. Same time frame Flock of Seagulls, U2, and Devo were frequently on. Best discovery of that era was the Clash. It was a trip down memory lane when I ran across a site that showed the Black Saab 99 Turbo was featured in the video.
