Saab was founded in 1937 as an aircraft manufacturer for the Swedish Royal Airforce. Around 1947, the demand for planes went down, so Saab decided to try thier hand at automobiles. At that time, the Saab 90 and 91 were the names of their figther jets, and the next product the made was a car, the 92. Then there was 93, 94 (Sonnet 1), 95, 96, 97 & 98 (Sonnet 2 & 3) 99, 90, 900, 9000, 9-3, 9-5. The 9 just sorta stuck.
