antp ◊ 2005-07-08 22:00	Thanks for the pic
antp ◊ 2006-02-05 16:55	I've replace the picture by a much better one, coming from the DVD Few extra images:
sixcyl ◊ 2006-02-05 16:57	ooh, please! ... not just "Saab 95"?! ... add the Combi version in the tittle
antp ◊ 2006-02-05 17:04	Was listed since long time like that... and all the 95 are combi so I am not sure that it is part of the name
DAF555 ◊ 2006-02-06 22:23	For some reason SAAB didn´t use the designation 95/96 on the cars or in ads between 1965-70. On the homemarket they were just marketed as SAAB Sedan and SAAB Herrgårdsvagn with the addition V4 for cars with that engine. I had to check up about the US-market, and it seems to have been the same there: http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B30632.jpg So, to be correct this is a 1968 SAAB Station Wagon V4 (It has got the higher windshield introduced -68) Earlier cars are just 95 or 96. 1969-70 the sedan is called just SAAB V4, and the wagon is V4 Herrgårdsvagn. From 1971 Sedan/Herrgårdsvagn is dropped from the name and they are simply 95 V4 and 96 V4. -- Last edit: 2006-02-06 22:25:46

DAF555 ◊ 2006-02-06 22:34	Quote So that one should be renamed too I guess: /vehicle_19243-SAAB-95-1965.html Probably yes, but it´s a british car (with some fake arabic numberplate) and I don´t know what they were called. Probably SAAB Estate.

Unlike '9-5', which was used for all versions, sedan or estate. -- MH '72 97 '77 96 '79 96 '91 900i 2.1 '95 900SE -- Last edit: 2009-06-01 22:17:47
rjluna2 ◊ 2007-05-11 02:57	If this vehicle came from USA, then it should be listed as 1965/66 SAAB 95 3 cylinder version. It does not have federally mandate backup light. It also does not have federally mandate side marker. It doesn't even have a V4 logo on the front fender either. If DAF555 says it is a 1968 version, perhaps it is a Mexician version. In this movie, according to filming location at IMDb, listed both at USA and Mexico.
antp ◊ 2007-05-12 00:01	That part was set in USA
DAF555 ◊ 2007-12-17 11:25	It´s a 1968 due to the large windshield, so it can´t be a 2-cycle engine since they still had the small windshield for the US-market. It´s been stripped of all trim and even back-up lights and side markers that it should have had. But it does have the orange turn indicators of 1968 models. It´s about 18 years old in the film so a lot of things could have happend to it through the years. Here some samples from the 1968 brochure of how it would have been equipped originally, the second shows a swedish car but you can see the designation in the text: So, 1968 SAAB V4 Station Wagon [95] -- Last edit: 2007-12-17 15:27:36
mos6502 ◊ 2019-04-13 08:46	In the U.S. market, the cars were always the 95 and 96, even in the V4 years. Both in brochures, ads, and registration/titling.
