Saab Touch Up Paint

Saab Automobile AB is the sole car maker in possession of a Royal Warrant from the King of Sweden. Established in 1937, the Swedish company was in fact founded with the primary goal of providing the Swedish Air forces with fighter planes. As the war contracts started to dwindle down, the company realized that the only way to survive the post-war era was to diversify its production. This was the start of project X9248 or more casually referred to as project 92. The origin of the name is quite simple, this car design was the next in the production sequence, positioned after the Saab 91, a small training aircraft. 

The 1949 Saab 92 that left the assembly line was in fact the fourth Ursaab or original Saab prototype developed. The 92 model was enough of a hit that in 1955 the company gave it a face lift. The result, Saab 93, was the first model decorated with the company's signature trapezoid front grille and gained a bit of power with its engine going from a two-cylinder to a three-cylinder.

During the next decade, the brand saw success with its Saab 96, another iteration of the 92, as it started to massively export its cars. However, the real victory came with the Saab 99 in 1968. This model was the first model in nineteen years to be awarded with a fully redesigned body. The turbocharged model also featured a wrap around windshield, headlight washer and side-impact door beams that set the company for a merger with commercial constructor Scania-Vabis AB.

The early ‘70s was hit with the oil crisis and Saab was not spared the hardships experienced by the automobile industry. To revitalize its car lineup, Saab signed a deal with Italian car maker Fiat. From this cooperation came the Saab 9000 to the Alfa Romeo 164, the Fiat Chroma and the Lancia Thema, the company's first high-end model. These models all shared the same Type Four chassis as well as many other parts that could be exchanged between the models.

These efforts did not prove to be enough for the brand and it separated from Scania to form a different entity where 50% of its shares were sold to GM in 1989. Following this joint venture, Saab launched the new 900 with a relative amount of success but it was not enough to prevent the purchase of the remaining 50% shares in the company. Further complications arose in 2008 when GM's operations were severely shaken by the financial crisis. This situation forced the company to put Saab on the market once again.
