The W124 generation Mercedes-Benz is one of our favorites at the Daily Turismo, so it’s only natural that we would jump at the chance to feature a W124 wagon offered for the price of timing belt change. This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300TE W124 wagon is for sale in Los Angeles, CA for $1975 from a seller […]
The Oldsmobile 88 was a full sized car sold by General Motors from 1949 to 1999, a stunning 50 year production history that started in 1949 as a car that a 30 year old would like. The 88 continued to court that same buyer until he was 80 in 1999…and like its customers, faded into […]
Unique cars often stimulate interesting questions; for example the Subaru STi make us want to ask – how did a group of adults release a car that looks like this?

The Suzuki Swift/Geo Metro/Chevy Metro/Pontiac Firefly was a subcompact hatch from General Motors with powertrain developed by Suzuki and sold from 1988-1999. The Swift wasn’t swift in the least bit, but it was available with a 5 speed manual transmission, fully independent suspension and a super light 1600 lb curb weight. This 1993 Suzuki Swift […]

What the rest of these cars lacked was pickup truck utility and a die-hard fan base in the Hispanic urban communities in most major American cities. If […]
The Lamborghini Jalpa is a lesser known little Lambo built from 1981-1988. It has the distinction of being one of the higher production Lamborghinis equipped with a V8 engine, with a total of 410 produced. The name Jalpa comes from a breed of fighting bulls and it looks like today’s featured bull has been stuck […]
As we mentioned a few days ago, Daily Turismo tagged along with Black Iron Racing at last weekend’s 24 Hours of Lemons endurance race at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in Desert Center, CA. They call it Desert Center because it’s in the center of the desert…aka the middle of nowhere. Or depending on how you look at […]
Maybe it was hanging out at the racetrack for the past weekend, or perhaps years of sitting in SoCal traffic – but we had a hankering for some racing junk and found this prime example on the racingjunk.com website. This 1969 Volvo 144 racer is for sale for $7,500 in Roseburg, OR. The 140 series […]
The third generation (T3) of VW’s legendary ‘Type 2 Transporter’ continued the formula setup by its predecessors of slow, tippy and reliable, and was marketed in the USA as the Vanagon from 1979-1993.
