SAAB 92 — 1956

An object that sparks the imagination. An exceptionally good Saab 92 with only one owner since new. It has spent the past 42 years unused in the original owner's garage. Nothing major caused it to end up there except that it became too outdated in the 1981 traffic scene.

"A very good item with only one previous owner who must have taken good care of it."

Description

This Saab 92, which was built late in 1955 and has not received the changes made in the 1956 model year, is still registered as a 1956 model year. The car is being sold by the estate of this man, who used it until 1981 when he probably felt it was getting too old. At one point, he is said to have gone to a Saab dealer in Uppsala to buy a new Saab 99. Since the dealer did not want to trade it in or offered too low a price for the old Saab, the owner resolutely went to a nearby Opel dealer. They had what the Saab owner considered a much nicer attitude even though they also did not trade in the 92. So he bought a new Opel Kadett, which for the year had come with front-wheel drive. This car is still in the estate, but is barely salvageable. The same owner since new, but rust has eaten away at the Opel while the Saab only has some minor rust problems. Saab was truly a product born from aviation quality thinking.

Facts about the model

These early Saabs are full of aviation genes. Since Saab was originally an airplane manufacturing company, both engineers and ideas were taken from the aviation side. With good aerodynamics, a large and heavy engine with many horsepower is not needed. With a small and light engine with fewer horsepower, the handling became at least as good, if not even better. The concept proved to be successful with some modernizations up until 1980. The main designer and driving force behind the project was Gunnar Ljungström. Sixten Sason was responsible for the design, who incidentally has an impressive list of successful designs in his portfolio.
