This is a late 70’s model, but it’s also an evolution of the very first model that Saab started making back in 1947. In the late 60’s they finally gave up on two stroke engines and fitted a Ford V4 to this, but they attached it to the existing exhaust system giving it a unique sound where the two cylinder rows had slightly different muffling.

Very nice Saab 96 – a true classic.
Oh! This hits close to home 🙂

Saabs have been ugly forever.
