A travelling salesman who put more than 1 million miles on his 1989 Saab is getting a new one from the Swedish manufacturer, which now says it will offer replacements to other original owners of million-mile Saabs during 2007, according to a media report.

Last summer, Saab executives verified the mileage on Peter Gilbert's car. He donated the car to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, but told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he was disappointed he had not received a Saab T-shirt, much less a replacement car. The company then decided to give him a new Saab 9-5 Aero.
