Since launching its first two-stroke saloon just after the Second World War, Saab has built up an enviable reputation for producing among the safest and most environmentally succesful cars in the world, with one of the highest customer retention levels. Here, with the full co-operation of Saab Sweden, motoring writer Eric Dymock tells the story of this company's half-century of enlightened design and manufacturing. With contributors from many Saab pioneers, including Gunnar Ljungstrom who was responsible for the first Saab car produced in 1946. It includes archive photographs, advertising, and specially commissioned colour photography.

No Saab driver should be without!,

This review is from: Saab: Half a Century of Achievement, 1947-1977 (Hardcover)
This book is so hard to find! I had to get it for my brother who is a Saab fanatic and he LOVES it. It's the thing to have if you love Saabs. Even if you don't, the photos are amazing so it's great to flip through. If you know someone with a 9-3 this one's the best: Saab 9-3 or a 9-5: Saab 9-5: a Personal Story

This review is from: Saab: Half a Century of Achievement, 1947-1977 (Hardcover)
Every Saab fanatic should add this book to their collection. While not as complete as "The First 40 Years of Saab Cars" by Lindh, it does have some insight into the elements that make Saab a unique driving experience.

For the SAAB enthusiast!,
By envision@inforamp.net (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saab: Half a Century of Achievement, 1947-1977 (Hardcover)
A well balanced "must have" book for the Saab enthuasiast. It's well illustrated with an easy to read layout and contains lots of hard to find photos. Dymock explores some of Saabs innovative contributions to the automotive world - well worth the money. It's not overly technical, but it serves as a nostalgic look at Saab history from a respected automotive journalist.
