Not many cars get a 20-year span of production, and fewer make it through those years with only one major change. The SAAB 96 is one of those cars, and it may look like a curiosity to modern eyes but the car survived and prospered because it works well for its purpose.
This example is an original survivor - Overhead fan shaft three cylinder mixer. Rust free body in patina white with gray cloth/vinyl interior and a smooth shifting three speed on the column. It runs and drives but we would recommend to frenshen the entire car.
The original SAAB 96 was introduced in 1960 as a 1961 model year car. The 96 succeeded the older SAAB 92 and 93 models, and was co-produced with the similar SAAB 95 station wagon through 1978. The 96 was part of the SAAB design tradition: a two-door coupe with front wheel drive and an aerodynamic body. That's no accident; SAAB is an acronym for Svenska Aeroplan AB - the Swedish Airplane Corporation. Much of the badging and grille design reflects that heritage, and SAAB was also engaged in airplane design and production throughout the 96 era.
