History, development and general characteristics
The Saab 99 was born out of the Project Gudmund, which began being planned at Saab in 1965. It was finally revealed to the public on November 1967, in Stockholm, Sweden.
Saab began producing the ‘99’ at the Finnish Valmet plant in 1968, aiming to lead the brand further with the concept of this new and bigger car. Production came to an end in 1984, with 10.607 units built.
