1. Saab 92


Saab has long been acclaimed for its innovative spirit, and the 92 is the car that started it all. Its unibody construction, independent torsion beam suspension, and 0.30 drag coefficient were all revolutionary at the time.

Versatility became the car's trademark. In addition to a detachable rear seat, a rudimentary kit was available to convert the cabin into a useful double bed.

Every sample from 1949 to late 1952 came in green. Under the hood, the Saab 92 relied on a 2-stroke, 2-cylinder engine that produced 25 horsepower and allowed a top speed of 105 km/h. It had zero problems with cold starts, hence the appeal among Swedish drivers.

By the end of production in 1956, a total of 20,128 units had been manufactured.
