SAAB 92B

    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.
