A television station in Ohio is working on a news segment about Saturn, and they are looking for an owner of any 1991 Saturn who lives in the area between the Cleveland, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Ideally, the person they'd like to talk to is someone who is the original owner and still uses the car.

Mark Vaughn from AutoWeek: More than 200 cars from GM's Heritage Fleet went on the block in what GM called normal housekeeping. Note that's the Heritage Fleet, which is different from the Heritage Collection. The latter has about 350 cars. "The Heritage Collection is sacred, a critical part of the history of GM," said Brian Baker, collection manager and design historian.

This '91 SL1 Saturn 4-door was one of the first models to roll of the company's assembly line in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Alex Taylor III, senior editor of Fortune magazine, recently compiled a list of the ten most significant cars in General Motors history. In chronological order, Saturn was cited as number 7. "Another GM effort to compete with the imports, Saturn represented a fresh start free of old encumbrances," he wrote.

Jalopnik.com reports General Motors will auction off a number of vehicles from its vaunted Heritage Center museum collection in an effort to raise cash to help offset the huge losses the company is faced with due to the global financial crisis. There are about 1000 vehicles of historical significance in storage that GM uses for the displays at the museum, but only about 150 to 200 of those vehicles can be featured at one time. On the list of vehicles to be auctioned are several notable Saturns from the past. The website says they will be sold at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction held January 13-19 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

A 1991 Saturn SC was prominently featured on the cover of AutoWeek magazine's October 8, 1990 issue with the words "Liftoff - Saturn is Launched." Inside Mark Vaughn profiled the all-new Saturn compact sedans and coupes, discussed the company's unique philosophies, and interviewed former Saturn president Richard G. "Skip" LeFauve.

Saturn has been busy posting a growing collection of "vintage" Saturn pictures dating back to the late 1980s and early 1990s over on their ImSaturn website. Included in the album are classic S-Series advertising and plant photos, like this picture of the first Saturn ever built: a medium red 1991 SL2.

Any way you slice it, 100 years is a long time. Few companies have marked such a milestone, but later this year General Motors will clock its one-hundredth anniversary. The company's celebration started last week and it will continue all year long online and at events across the country.
