- Saab 98
Saab 98 was the number used by Saab for a project in 1974 making a
combi coupé based on theSaab 95 . Originally it was called X14. The construction of the 98 was based on theSaab 95 floorpan and the design was made byBjörn Envall . Theprototype was assembled bySergio Coggiola who had already done work on theSaab Sonett III.Only "a couple of test cars" [ [http://saab-club.com/the-saab-way/story/story.htm "The SAAB Way"] by
Gunnar A. Sjögren , page 57.] were built up to 1976 and the project was abandoned as Saab decided there was no room in the market for a car between theSaab 95 andSaab 99 . The project was, nonetheless, an interesting development of a much-loved model (the 95) and might have delayed that successful format's demise, had this model achieved production status.The only surviving 98, in 'Siena Brown', is now on display in the Saab
Museum inTrollhättan .Notes
