The above photo showcases the Saab display at the Detroit Auto Show in 1976 of the complete product model offering by Saab.

Below is a summary from the original press release issued by Lennart Lonnegren, Saab-Scania’s former PR representative then:

ORANGE, CONNECTICUT — More than 40 engineering refinements mark the new line of Swedish-built Saab automobiles for 1976. The refinements are as complex as new rear brake caliper pistons and as simple as a pushbutton trip odometer.

For 1976, the Saab 99’s are available in three basic models: The Saab 99 GL, available in two and four door models with optional automatic transmission and power steering; Saab 99 EMS, with an improved performance package, again available in the two door configuration; and the Saab 99 WagonBack, introduced in 1974, which provides the flexibility of a sedan with the convenience of a station wagon.
