GENERAL
at has a b0dy of unit construction. Fenders, doors
and luggage compartment lid are removable. The
composed of a relatively small number of pressed
ts which are joined together by spot welded Or
ed overlapping seams. In addition, all vital junc.
tions are solid welded.
The Saab 95 differs from the Saab 96 in that the rear end
and the roof are different.
The roof panel is a single pressed steel part, extending
from the dash panel to the leading edge of the luggage
compartment lid. Pressed reinforcement frames are fitted
round the windshield and rear window. Tubular reinfor-
cement is provided in the windshield pillars, while steel-
section roof rails add rigidity to the sides of the roof.
The cowl section of the roof panel terminates in front of
the windshield with a vertical reinforcement panel which,
together with the dash panel and the windshield reinfor-
cement frame, forms a closed compartment. The space
thus enclosed serves as a collecting chamber for ventila-
tion air, which flows in through the opening in the upper
side of the chamber and which can be admitted to the car
either through a flap on the right hand side of the dash
panel or through the fresh-air heater.
The floor consists of a single smooth panel, with longi-
tudinal channels affording the necessary stiffening. At the
sides, rigidity is provided by the sills, to which the jack
supports are welded. At the front, the center floor adjoins
the dash panel, and at the rear the rear axle tunnel. The
engine compartment floor pan is joined to the center
floor at the dash panel, and the luggage compartment
floor pan behind the rear axle tunnel.
The wheel house walls are of pressed steel, channeled for
reinforcement. The two front wheel houses are pierced
for the control arms and tie-rods, as well as to allow eva-
cuation of the current of air passing through the radiator.
Some of the air outlets are fitted with gills. The brackets
for the front control arms are welded to the inside of the
wheel house walls and to the engine compartment floor.
One of the rear wheel house walls is pierced for the fuel
filler pipe, the other being fitted with a bracket for fitting
the rear muffler. The upper spring seats and shock absorb-
er brackets are welded to the wheel houses at both front
and rear.
The luggage compartment of the Saab 96 comprises the
rear most part of the body and is limited at the front end
by the removable back cushion of the rear seat. The com-
Partment floor consists of a sheet of plywood, divided in-
t° “"0 Darts, under which the fuel tank and spare wheel
are housed. The luggage compartment lid is carried on
tvvo hinges and fitted with a counterbalanced check de-
me.

BODY INSULATION
Passenger and rear compartments are internally inSUIated
with waffle pattern paperboard.
A layer of insulation compound has also been sprayed on
the underside of the body assembly and inside the wheel
houses. This compound affords protection 393i"St flying
stones and corrosion, besides having certain sound absorb-
mg properties. When cleaning the car, never scrape the in-
side of the wheel houses.
BODY FITMENTS
The interior fitments of the car comprise chairs and seats
and door and side linings retained by quick-release spring
clips, headlining and mats.
The headlining in the Saab 95 is stretched on pianowire
bows and retained by wire spirals in the roof rails. Because
of the simplicity of the retaining devices, all parts are easy
to remove. Saab 96 is equipped with a headlining that is
wrapped round the upper edges of the frames for the wind-
shield-, side- and rear window frames fastened with tape
carrying adhesive on both sides.
The door linings are retained with quick-release spring
clips at the lower and rear edges. At the leading edge, the
trimming is secured by a U-shaped bar, while at the upper
edge there is a protective strip, also secured with quick-
release springs.
