Advertising Poster Saab GT750 Gran Turismo Classic Car Sweden
Description
Original vintage advertising poster issued by the Swedish car manufacturer SAAB featuring a photo of Saab GT750 in front of a wooden hut. The Saab GT750 (Gran Turismo 750) is an automobile from Saab produced between 1958 and 1960. It was introduced at the New York International Auto Show in 1958 and featured safety belts as standard, which soon became commonplace on most cars. The GT750 was a sporty version of the Saab 93, mainly aimed at the US market. It had the same body shell as the 93 but used a different interior and a high-output Saab two-stroke engine. Rear-hinged doors were offered on the 1958 model year only. It was not retired from the market with the 93 but received the Saab 96 body and 4-speed gearbox in 1960 and continued in production until 1962. In 1962, it received the even larger engine from the 96, was fitted with front disc brakes and was renamed the GT850. It was called the Saab Sport in the UK and 'Monte Carlo' in the USA (after the successes in the Monte Carlo Rally). The GT had twin carburetors and the two-stroke engine had been tuned to develop 50 hp (37 kW). An optional tuning kit was available to upgrade it to a GT 750R with the engine power boosted to 55 hp (41 kW). The engine gave most power at high revs, 3400 to 5000 rpm. The gearbox had three gears. In order to overcome the problems of overrun for the two-stroke engine, a freewheel device was fitted. Acceptable, creasing, tears, pinholes, surface damage to paper. Country of issue: Sweden, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 100x69, year of printing: 1950s
