Sven J Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Hello everyone, The Saab 92 was the first car model launched by the Swedish manufacturer in 1949. Equipped with a small 764 cc two-stroke two-cylinder engine (25 hp) and front-wheel drive, its overall design was heavily influenced by pre-war DKWs, which had achieved a high market share in Sweden. However, even in this first model, the slight quirkiness that would later become typical of cars from Trollhättan was noticeable – although functionality always took precedence. In the 92, this was reflected, for example, in a drag coefficient of just 0.32, which was sensational for the time, resulting in corresponding advantages in fuel consumption. In 1953, the 92 was revised, receiving, for example, a larger rear window and a trunk accessible from the outside, and was now designated the 92B. Almost six years ago, I built a 1:32 scale model of the Saab 92B, but it seems I completely forgot to show it here. Now is a good time to rectify that, as the model has been recently updated. It now has rear-view mirrors, redesigned door handles, and new taillights. Most importantly, though – and this was the main reason for the update – it finally appears in a colour that was actually available for the real car. Here it is: I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by! Best regards, Sven Edited January 13 by Sven J Quote

As I see curves all over the place on that beautiful, curvy model, you have really captured nicely, Sven. Most impressively: At this scale!!! Congratulations to another fantastic rendition of a classic and very classy car! All the best Thorsten Quote
Sven J Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 Thank you very much for your kind words, Thorsten! Quote
Shiva Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Motor & nostalgimuseet has a Saab 92. While Railway Museum of Grängesberg has the Volvo PV 831 and TGOJ M3a 101, sister loco to your TGOJ M3a 104. Have you visited both places? Quote
Sven J Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 In fact I've visited neither of them... all my inspiration comes from the internet. Quote
Shiva Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Maybe someday :) The one with Saab 92, I should visit someday. Volvo? Been there a few times. Quote
