Model Year 1960 to 1966
(See also 96V4 1967 to 1980)
Project
93C, as it was known within Saab, culminated in the announcement of
the new Saab 96 at a Stockholm press conference on 17 February 1960.
The Saab
96, featuring a new 841cc, 38hp three-cylinder two-stroke, was well
received and proved popular. Capacity was increased to 50,000 units
and the popular 96 opened up new markets for Saab.
The 96
was not completely new - the front was relatively unchanged from its
predecessor, the 93, but the rear was
extensively redesigned to incorporate a 117% larger rear screen, a
wider backseat, larger baggage compartment, a new fuel tank and larger
rear lights.
