That's the production version, not the prototype.
Btw. the prototype is also called Ursaab. Beatiful and -most important- unique design, that would Saab need nowadays... The side view remembers of a aeroplane wing, which it's supposed to do becase of the history of Saab (and still they are) as a aircraft-manufacturer, makes me wonder how it is to handle in high speeds.

Hmm, what can I say....
Never, ever trust a photo caption in GM media site.

After a little bit of research, it seems that car nr. P533 is indeed a first production version of Saab 92, rolling out from the factory in 1949. Notice the shape of the old-style licence plate.

Car nr. E92002 is a pre-production prototype, sort of direct descendant of UrSaab or 92.001. UrSaab was too impractical for production, so they made a 20 pre-production prototypes before launching Saab 92 officially.

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes

Cheers
