Basic information and history
In the summer of 1947, more specifically on Tuesday 10th of July, a group of journalists gathered in the staff dining room at SAAB's office in Linköping. In honour of the day, they will be the first to view the second prototype, named 92002, of what later became the SAAB 92. This is the company's first passenger car and the idea behind the car was contemporary with a modern construction at a low price.
Modern solutions included front-wheel drive, transverse engine, torsion springs and a self-supporting body. On top of this, the aerodynamics were also incredibly good for their time. Model 92A was built until November 52, when the 92B with a large number of updates began to be built. Updates included a larger rear window, moved gas tank, better seats, trunk lid and more colours to choose from. Between the years 1950 and 1956, a total of 20,128 SAAB 92s were produced.
