On June 10th, 1947, SAAB showed the world the prototype, but the first run of 20 cars did not leave the Trollhättan factory until Summer 1949 and full scale production wasn't until December of that year.
The car was available in only one color - green !
Directional arrows standard, lights optional!
The 92 had a two cylinder, two stroke, 764 cm3, 25/28 hp engine based on a DKW design.
The aerodynamic shape gave the car a drag coefficient of 0.35. One odd thing was the absence of a boot lid. Access to the luggage compartment (which also contained the battery) was via the back seat. An improved model, the 92B was introduced in Autumn 1952. This is what I want for Christmas, so start saving now !
