Typically when we run out of our DT repository of arcane knowledge of automobiles, we turn to our friend the internet and start searching for more information…but this latest car has us in a bit of an information black hole. Its a 1974 Maki M28 Amphibious Car/Boat, for sale in Dewitt, MI – on ebay […]
Today’s seller submission comes in the form of a two seat torpedo boat from our German friends in Stuttgart. We sort of wanted our first seller submission to be a Thorsday entry- but alas – out of the cars submitted for sale, we picked the one we thought was cleanest and a fantastic buy. […]
After one sort-of-SAAB, one Smurfy 242, and one interlocutor M6 we are ending this Thorsday with a genuine Nordic rally bred machine. The SAAB 96 traces its roots back to the beginnings of the automaker, and was the final evolution of their original aerodynamic beetle-esque form that began with the Ur-SAAB. This 1970 SAAB 96 […]
Welcome to another Thorsday special – this Saab comes from the eastern Nordic city of Ota in the Gunma prefecture of…wait a minute, the editors at DT are trying to pull a fast one…this Saab isn’t a Saab…its a Saabaru! Okay, you caught us, we like the Saabaru because it combines cool Saab styling with […]
The e24 BMW 6-series was a luxury grand tourer with a large trunk and colossal price tag. Only bankers, financiers, stock brokers and other criminals could afford them when new. It was a good car in standard 630/633/635 spec, but an absolute wolf in sheep’s clothing in USA M6 trim but an even faster M6 […]

This week, we may get letters from the SSAG (Save the Smurfs Advocacy Group) because approximately 3,428 Smurfs were skinned to make the rich […]
The “Fox body” replaced the ill-conceived and short lived Pinto-based Mustang II in 1979 to much fanfare and thanks from performance enthusiasts everywhere. The new Mustang was better looking, better constructed and more spacious on the inside – but it took many years of development before the engines gave it the performance to start to be […]
Today DT is headed back in time. Not as far back as the 1913 Model T, but almost – back to 1922 when Buick was a fiesty young brand at the core of 14-year-old upstart General Motors. Buick now holds the distinction of being the oldest American car brand still in business, tracing its roots back to […]
The Ford Torino was named after the Italian city of Turin, home of failed Moretti Motor Cars – but located in the same province as legendary Pininfarina design house. Pininfarina would never have designed a car where the rear quarter panels are larger than two zip codes, but the Torino was designed in Detroit, a […]
