The aviation company Saab, founded in 1938, started to produce cars in 1949, with the 92. The 96, launched in 1960, was an updated version of the 93, released in 1956. Its career lasted a long time, since it was produced until 1980. The 96 was facelifted in 1965, gaining a new front grille but stumping the chubby appearance of the first series, here reproduced by Troféu in open top version.
