Yes, well done!
It had a name though.  What was it?  Locked of course.
Sorry D-type.

The puzzle car is featured on several websites, but the captions only say Saab concept. Can't find a name though

I got the picture from a website, so the name is out there!
Have another look...

You're not looking for the name "Fjord", are you?
Title: Re: NEH 5445
Post by: Carnut on June 27, 2019, 07:15:30 AM
No!
Don't think it's connected with that, which was rather later.

Post by: Carnut on July 08, 2019, 11:14:36 AM
No.  It's already been established it's a Saab concept by Trevor Fiore but it has a name which is needed for the point.

Car Design Archives which published the drawings does not mention a name, but shows the picture mirrored

The name I was looking for was actually the name of the project of which this was said to be part.
However none of the pictures I'm seeing now include that, so I'm beginning to wonder if my source was not right...
I'll look into it as far as I can and see if it's right or not.

Well, I had it as part of the Saab X14 project (Saab 98 Combi-Coupé) but it seems that wherever I got that from (and I can't find it now) was not right.

I've therefore given mekubb the point and this is solved.
Sorry for any confusion.

As an ex-Saab product planner for many years with good internal Trollhattan design studio access, I know that the X14 project was the Ital Design fastback/hatchback rework of the rear of the Saab 95 estate, and not this Fiore proposal, if this helps.
