Saab 95 (1960)

Manufacturer : Saab
Productions : 1960
Engine : 841 cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine
Transmission : Four-speed manual transmission
Source : netcarshow.com

The Saab 95 was a 7-seater, 2-door station wagon made by Saab, based on the Saab 96 sedan version. It was introduced in 1959, but because only 40 were made in 1959, production is often said to have started in 1960.

The first engine was an 841 cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine, but from 1967 onward, it became available with the same four-stroke Ford V4 as used in the Saab 96 and the Ford Taunus. It had a four-speed manual transmission. A rear-facing folding seat was dropped with the 1976 model, making the car a regular 5-seater. Production ended in 1978. A total of 110,527 were made.

For certain markets (Norway, Denmark) a special export version delivery van was available without a rear seat and rear side windows. Both commercial companies and private persons made conversions of the Saab 95 to a pickup truck.

In 1961, Erik Carlsson finished 4th in the Monte Carlo Rally in a two-stroke Saab 95.

Saab 96 (1960-1980)

Manufacturer : Saab
Productions : 1960-1980
Engine : 750 cc, 38 hp (28 kW) three-cylinder Saab two-stroke engine
Source : netcarshow.com

The Saab 96 was an automobile made by Saab. It was introduced in 1960 and was produced until January 1980, a run of 20 years. Like the 93 it replaced, the 96 was a development from the old Saab 92 chassis and, on account of its improvements and modernisation, it opened new markets for the company. It was the car for which the marque Saab became internationally known, not least because of its safety innovations and its motor sport successes. It was the first Saab model officially imported to the UK.

The front suspension used independent wishbones and coil springs, while the rear suspension was a trailing U-beam axle with coil springs. Telescopic dampers were used for all four wheels. Earlier models had drum brakes all round; later models were fitted with disc brakes at the front.

Toyota Cressida First Generation X30-X40 1978-1980

Toyota Cressida First Generation X30-X40 1978-1980

Manufacturer : Toyota
Productions : 1978-1980
Engine : 1.8 L 3T I4, 2.0 L 18RI4, 2.6 L 4M I6, 2.6 L 4M-E I6 EFI
Transmission : automatic transmission and 5-speed manual
Source : wikipedia.org
The first generation Cressida (designated X30 series) was available as a sedan(X30, X32), estate wagon (X35, X36) or hardtop coupe (X30, X31). In Japan, it was sold as both the Toyota Mark II and the more upmarket Cressida.
Depending on the market it was sold in, it had the 4M carbureted engine (MX32, MX36), the 18R engine (RX30, RX32, RX35) or 3T engine (TX30). The North American models started with the carbureted 4M engine (MX32) but in mid 1978 the fuel injected 4M-E replaced its carbureted counterpart – this was one of the first Toyotas in the US to use fuel injection. In 1979, the MSRP in the US was US$9,190. In New Zealand, where it was locally assembled and sold in a highly specified GL form, it had the 18R engine.

Standard features included air conditioning, automatic transmission (a 5-speed manual was available), power steering, rear seat armrests, AM/FM cassette stereo with amplifier, reclining front seats, and a rear window defroster. The automatic transmission was a four speed overdrive with an overdrive lockout. Power windows were optional. Soundproofing was extensive, and the Cressida was famous for being one of the quietest cars on the road at the time.

In the United Kingdom, the Cressida was available in both sedan and wagon bodystyles. The only engine available was the 18R and there was one trim level, badged De Luxe. Contrary to popular belief, it was not the same as DX specifications on other Toyota cars, but a more upmarket version of the DX trim level. The Toyota Carina sedan and wagon also sold in the United Kingdom at this time were also badged as De Luxe (but rebadged as DX from 1980 onwards).

Lancia Flavia 1.5 (1960)

Manufacturer : Lancia
Productions : 1960
Engine : 1.5 L aluminium boxer engine (1488 cc)
Source : netcarshow.com

The Lancia Flavia was developed by Professor Fessia in the late 1950s, and introduced for sale in 1961. Initially available only as a four door saloon, it featured a 1.5 L aluminium boxer engine. This model was soon joined by a two door coupé, designed by Pininfarina on a shortened platform. Vignale built a two door convertible, while Zagato designed an outlandish-looking light weight two door sport version. The sport version has twin carburetors for extra power (just over 100 hp/75 kW), however this version of the engine was notoriously difficult to keep in tune.

Later development of the engine included an enlargement to 1.8 L, a mechanical injection version using the Kugelfischer system, and a five speed manual gearbox. Towards the end of the sixties, when Fiat took control of the company, the Vignale and Zagato versions were discontinued, and the coupé and saloon versions received new bodywork. The engine increased to 2.0 L in capacity, available with carburetor or injection, and four or five speed gearbox. The 2.0 L models were only made with revised Pininfarina Coupe and revised Lancia Sedan bodies.
