The Saab 92B was presented in December 1952. It had so many new features
that Saab felt an extra letter in the model designation was more than
justified. Most of all, the new model had a boot lid, so the boot was at
least accesible from outside the car. It also had a larger rear window,
and since the fuel tank filler cap had previously been located cenrtally
at the rear, it had to be moved to the left-hand rear wing. The seats
were padded with foam rubber and the front seat backrests were shaped to
give better lateral support. The rear seat was easily removable to make
room for extra luggage, far from least, the Saab 92B was available in a
range of colours.
In only two more years, in 1954, it was time for even more changes. The
engine was modified with a new carburettor and ignition coil, which
raised its power output to 28 bhp. Furthermore, the carburettor featured
preheating to prevent icing in very cold weather. Externally, the 1954
Saab was decorated with chromium trim on the wings. The paintwork was now
synthetic. A sunroof was also offered as an optional extra.
