History
The SAAB 93 was announced on August 18, 1955 and was first presented on December 1, 1955. The model was styled by Sixten Sason and had a longitudinally mounted three-cylinder two-stroke engine of 748 cc with 33 hp (25 kW). The gearbox had three gears, the first of which was not synchronized. To prevent problems with lubrication and jamming, the bucket was equipped with a freewheel. Two-point seat belts were fitted as an option in 1957. The 93 was the first Saab to be exported from Sweden, most of them to the US. A Saxomat coupler and sunroof were available as options.
