Chris de Koning "Konia" from Rosmalen is a Dutch woodcarver and artist. He has made three different kinds of Saab and Volvo models: Wonderful 1:20 cars finished from one piece of wood with rolling plastic wheels (Stahlberg), only on special order. In larger units he built 1:43 tin-models, full-cast or half-relief on wooden plate. In the same size, but using resin instead of tin, he has made a few Saab models in a very limited run.

The red model is original De Koning. The red with black roof and other additional details is a code-3 model made by "Peter Haubold", Germany.
