The Saab 95, 96, Monte Carlo, and 850 were all successful models produced by the Swedish automaker Saab during the 1960s and 1970s. The Saab 95 and 96 were two-door station wagons, while the Monte Carlo (also known as the 96-V4) was a sporty coupe, and the 850 was a larger, four-door sedan. These cars were known for their distinctive design, with their sloping rooflines and prominent grilles. They were also praised for their durability, reliability, and innovative features. The Saab 95 and 96 were notable for their unique "three-box" design, with the engine compartment, passenger cabin, and cargo area separated by distinct compartments. This design allowed for more efficient use of space and provided a spacious interior even in a compact car. The 96 was also offered as an estate and a pick-up truck, showcasing its versatility. The Monte Carlo, with its sleek coupe bodywork and powerful V4 engine, offered a more sporty driving experience.
Under the hood, Saab employed a range of engines, including the 850's fuel-injected V4, the 95 and 96's reliable two-stroke three-cylinder engine, and the 96's optional V4 engine. The two-stroke engine was known for its high power-to-weight ratio and smooth acceleration, while the V4 offered more torque and power for a more comfortable driving experience. These vehicles appealed to a variety of buyers, from those seeking a practical and reliable family car to those seeking a sporty and stylish ride. Despite their age, these models remain popular among enthusiasts today, appreciated for their unique character and driving experience.
