SaabToad, or Paddan in Swedish, was a development car Saab made in 1966 to test out the new chassis, drive train and engine for the Saab 99.
The Toad used the body of a Saab 96, which was long enough for the purpose but had to be widened by 20 cm.
Further development was carried out on the Saab 'daihatsu', a test car with the new body but badged 'daihatsu', to prevent its identification by journalists as a developmental Saab.
