Appearing on Saab cars from 1963 the new Saab emblem was a sylised Saab aeroplane symbol with the letters S A A B in capitals across the top. This distinctive logo, signifying Saab's aircraft heritage, first appeared within the grid-pattern grille of the 1963 Saab 96. From 1967 onwards the logo, pictured (photographed from the bonnet of a Sonett II), appeared on the Sonett II and Sonett V4. The same badge was mounted above the boot handle on the Saab 96V4 until 1973/4.
