The Saab 900 is presented in May and goes on sale as the 1979 model. Introduced with the Saab 900 is yet another world "first" from Saab - the unique comartment air filter. The Saab 900 also has a safety steering column with a telescopically collapsible steering shaft and a sheet-steel crumple bellows.
The concept of a practical, all-year-round, 'four season, four-seater' soft top was pioneered by Saab when sales of the first Saab 900 Convertible began in January 1986. A limited production run of 400 units for the US market with 175 bhp, 2.0-liter turbo engines was an immediate success and the following year the Saab Convertible was taken into full global production.
