Saab Cars 1949 to 2011. A Pictorial History - Julian Parish - książka
Producent: David & Charles
Over a decade since the last vehicles left the Trollhattan production lines, Saab continues to enjoy a devoted fan base among automotive enthusiasts globally. Throughout its 60-year history, Saab gained acclaim for the aerodynamic styling, technical advancements, and robust construction of its vehicles, attracting individualists and innovative thinkers. This vivid guide, rich in full-color illustrations, delves into the entire saga of Saab's automobiles. It starts with the 'Ursaab' prototype and the original model 92, produced in 1949, marking Saab's transition from aircraft manufacturing post-war. The narrative extends to the last of the second-generation 9-5 models in 2011, introduced during the company’s challenging times. Each Saab model, such as the popular 93 and 96 saloons recognized for their rally feats, the 95 station wagon, and the eye-catching Sonett sports cars, has its own chapter. The SaabO caravan and the Formula Junior race car also make an appearance. After these, the narrative shifts to the larger 99 series and the beloved 900 range, famous for their groundbreaking turbocharged versions. Saab moved upscale in 1985 with the 9000 model, collaborating with Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo. The guide highlights the shift into the late 20th and early 21st centuries when General Motors gradually acquired control of Saab. The 9-3 and 9-5 ranges emerged as top sellers of that era, being developed on GM platforms. Lesser-known models, particularly in Europe, such as the all-wheel drive 9-4X and 9-7X, along with the 9-2X—a rebadged Subaru Impreza—are also featured. Each chapter provides insights into the evolution of each model and includes in-depth technical information, production statistics, and limited edition details. The book is richly illustrated, offering many archival photographs from Saab Automobile and the Saab Car Museum, showcasing both the interiors and exteriors of these vehicles.
