This is the tragic tale of a once great, this is the rise and downfall of SAAB.



Saab’s history begins in 1937 in the small Swedish city of Linkoping, located 120 miles south east of Stockholm. The company originally produced aircrafts, especially fighter aircrafts for the Swedish Air Force, which were planned to be used by Sweden to defend its neutrality in World War II. After the war ended, demand for military aircrafts dropped and the company decided to diversify its business and so the Saab Automobile division was created. Work on the first Saab automobile was started in 1945, under the X9248 codename. Soon, the project became known as Project 92 (Saab’s previous product was the Saab 91, a single engine aircraft). With the automobile project advancing, the company decided that car production will take place in one of their facilities in Trolhattan, a city on Sweden’s North Sea coast, about 200 miles away from Stockholm. In 1948, work started on converting the existing facility to allow automobile assembly and soon the Saab Automobiles’ headquartered was also moved to Trolhattan, where it remained ever since.
