Known for its innovations in green technology, safety, ergonomics, and turbocharging, Saab is a trendsetter and a pioneer in the automobile industry. Saab can even boast being the exclusive royal warrant holder as appointed by the King of Sweden. The Saab 92, the first ever Saab model, went into production in 1949. In 1955, the 92 was extensive redesigned and reengineered at which point it was also renamed. The Saab 93 touted a three cylinder engine which gave it one more cylinder than the engine in the 92. It was also the first model to feature what would become a trademark for Saab – the trapezoidal radiator grill. 1959 saw the introduction of the wagon variant with the Saab 95.

The first Saab model to be widely exported outside of Sweden came in 1960 with the incredibly successful Saab 96. The 96 sold almost 550,000 units – a significant improvement over the 20,000 the original Saab 92 sold.

In 1968, Saab released its first model in nineteen years that wasn't tied to the 92. The 96 was the first model to stray completely from the original Saab model and ushered in many of the innovations commonly found in Saab models today – headlamp washers, side-impact door beams, self-repairing bumpers, and the wraparound windshield.
