After the Loony Labor Day “shorty” ’57 Chevy wagon, we decided a comparison was in order. Today’s slice of Americana is also a ’57, also light blue with white two-tone, and is also being sold on Los Angeles craigslist even though it is located hundreds of miles away from LA county. They both started life […]
The ’57 Chevy is the quintessential American ’50s car for restorations, probably because GM originally built 1.5 million cars that today can be called a ’57 Chevy. GM sold them as 2/4 door sedans, 2/4 door hardtop, 2 door convertible and 2/4 door wagons. The result is that it is one of the most restored […]
This is the first in a new type of feature from Daily Turismo, called “Road Kill.” These are cars that we (and our readers) have found for sale out on the road, or highway, or local Kwik-E-Mart parking lot – without necessarily having an ad listed online. If you’d like to submit an interesting find […]
The Mercury Comet in its early years was a rebadged Ford Falcon – but by the 70s the Falcon had its wings clipped, so Mercury switched the Comet to the new Maverick platform – still just a rebadge. This 1973 Mercury Comet is in original condition with a claimed 41k miles on the odo and […]
The Dodge Power-Wagon was introduced just after the end of World War II as an alternative to the military Ford 4×4 trucks, but it was the first military style 4×4 to be sold directly to the public. This 1950 Dodge Power Wagon is for sale in Oregon for an asking price of $7500 via craigslist. […]
We recently had our eyes on an 84 Isuzu Pickup Diesel ‘survivor’ car, but the buy-it-now was insanely high and the auction was ended early (probably sold off ebay). But no one really wants a glacially slow oil burner from the 80s – so we found this 1983 Isuzu Pickup with manual trans and gasoline […]
In an alternate universe – there is a Batman. He is still Bruce Wayne, but he wasn’t born to millionaire parents. His parents couldn’t even afford a standard Gotham apartment, they were forced to live in a double-wide in East Gotham Heights. But Bruce couldn’t be stopped from pursuing his dreams of fighting crime and […]
We featured a 3rd generation Toyota Corona on Wednesday – a restored, nice looking example that had some money put into an ‘out of body experience’ restoration…but for those who like their classic Japanese iron with some patina on it – we’ve found a nice original one for you. This 1966 Toyota Corona for sale […]
Considering that the last Amazon (aka 122) that we featured was a clean original coupe and sold for $8650, a nice wagon could conceivably be worth a similar amount. Today’s 3rd Thorsday car is a partially original, partially restored family truckster in a fetching shade of blue with nice contrasting red painted “V” hubcaps, a […]
Two days before Thorsday we posted an ad for a nice looking ’67 Amazon coupe — and DT reader/commenter Clark picked it up for what we think was a great price. His words: “I also thought it would go a bit higher. That it SHOULD go a bit higher. With a minute or so left […]
