The Saab 93 was an automobile manufactured by Saab. It was announced on August 18, 1955 and was first presented on December 1, 1955. It was styled by Sixten Sason and had a longitudinally-mounted three-cylinder 748 cc two-stroke engine giving 33hp. In 1957 two-point seatbelts were introduced as an option. The 93 was the first Saab to be exported outside of Sweden, with most exports going to the United States.
On September 2, 1957 the 93B was introduced. The two-piece windshield was replaced with a one-piece windshield.
In 1957, Erik Carlsson finished 1st in the Finland Rally in a Saab 93, in 1959 he was 1st in the Swedish Rally, also in a Saab 93.
In 1960 the 93F was introduced, featuring front-hinged doors from the Saab GT750 and the Saab 95. 1960 was the last year of production for the 93. The 93 was replaced by the Saab 96.
It should not be confused with Saab 9-3. It should also be noted that comedian Jay Leno owns a grey 1958 93B. [1] (http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/press/050519.html)
