		Sason conducted freelance work but was soon commissioned by Saab to adapt his design for full scale production.
		The Catherina had a number of features that were ahead of their time, such as the targa top that was the correct shape to be neatly stowed in the boot.
		Other features that Sixten Sason envisaged, such as the roof-mounted headlamps to provide greater range on dipped beam, never made it to the prototype.

		Swedish designer Sixten Sason was the man responsible for creating the aesthetics of of the Hasselblad camera in the late 1940's, a design so compelling that today it defines not just a product but an entire brand:

		If you still need convincing, just think about the incredible amount of brand equity created by Sixten Sason over the course of his career at Hasselblad and Saab, and how quickly Saab lost it once his influence was gone.

	Sonett_I
		The 1st prototype was built between 1954 and 1955, through a joint design effort by Rolf Mellde and Sixten Sason.
		Sason's body design employed fiberglass - a material that was considered fairly futuristic at the time - and the vehicle ultimately weighed in at only 1100 pounds, making it a bit of a rocket in relative terms.
		But as it came into being after countless hours of time volunteered by Mellde, Sason, and numerous others, the company came to embrace the new car, and excitedly planned to introduce it to the press and public.

		A 1:10 scale model Ursaab was tested in a wind tunnel by the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and gave a drag coefficient of 0.32, an impressive figure even by today's standards.
		The front wheels were too enclosed in Sason's drag-cheating design and were prone to trapping snow during the winter.

		He particularly liked the concept of the pre-war DKW and proceeded to adapt this design to suit Swedish conditions.
		The team also included another radical designer, Sixten Sason, whose ideas perfectly complemented Gunnar’s engineering thoughts.
		Together they conceived a small car with monocoque body (now common-place) with an extremely low drag coefficient (0.32) so that it could be driven by a small, low-powered engine.

		They're not necessarily old but they're the 'true believers', who figure that anything not based on a Sixten Sason design is a watered down piece of tripe and unworthy of the man-hours expended by the noble men of Trollhattan.
		Sixten Sason's designs stayed in production for around 46 years.
		That's a heck of a lot of DNA to draw on in the future, but it wasn't enough to keep Saab afloat in the past.

		Posted by: Swade at July 4, 2005 11:19 AM This is a third attempt, hope it doesn't show up as a triple post.
		Speaking of Sixten Sason, do you think, in the 1960's that he was more of a help or a hindrance to SAAB?
		I thought his Catherina design was abominable and the 99 had an unfinished look to it which took years of refinement to make it look right.

		Along came the NG900 and the newer shape 9000 and the 3-port was still there, albeit a lot flatter, but the DNA was still the same and traceable right back to Sixten Sason's earliest 99 drawings (heck, even Caterina's got a noted central intake and flanks).
		The Saab bodyshape and those quintissential design cues are easily recognised by those of us with the antenna tuned into the Sason frequency.
		I guess that what I'm really hoping for is a maintenance of faith in the elements of Saab design that make them the unique cars that they are.
