In our 2nd birthday celebration earlier this week, also known as DT’s ABCs, you might have noticed that there were zero Volvos in the A-to-Z list…and I can assure you it wasn’t on purpose. It was just that as the list of alphabetic atrocities awesome solidified, it ended up without much Scandinavian presence, so we […]
Welcome to Memorial Day at the Daily Turismo, time to fire up the BBQ and get things cooking. The original plan for Memorial Day was to post nothing but Renault Fuegos (and other flammable French cars) for sale, but some kill joy mentioned something about this isn’t a memorial of the start of BBQ season […]
As we say around the DT “office,” TTIT…what? Thank Thor its Thursday…the fifth day of the week, known as Thorsday. Time to get our Scandinavian smorgasbord going with another classic Volvo 122S. We’ve posted a number of Amazon coupes on the site over the past (almost) two years, and an Amazon was one of our […]
The Volvo 121/122S/123GT was first introduced in 1956 as the Volvo Amason, named after the female Greek warriors in legends. However, a small German motorcycle company owned the rights to the name and negotiated with Volvo to change the name to Amazon and only use it in Sweden — the rest of the world it […]
The Amazon was designed all the way back in the early 50’s, started rolling out of the factory in 1956, and in typical Volvo stubborn fashion it soldiered on all the way through 1970 with very few changes. Today’s Amazon wagon comes to us via a seller submission from Oprah85 on ebay and looks like […]
Did you know that the word for the 4th day of the week as defined by ISO 8601 actually comes from the middle English word Thuresday, literally Thor’s day? Regardless, the best way to start off Thorsday (or the 5th day of the week for Sunday-first adherents) is with a bang…ing Volvo Amazon. Find this […]
The Volvo 122S Amazon wagon is…wait a minute…what is that little sticker in the rear window on this car…a DT sticker! This is indeed a first for us, a car listed with a DT sticker in the window. Find this 1967 Volvo 122 S Amazon Station Wagon for sale in Mission Hills, CA currently bidding […]
The Volvo 122S Amazon is a great starter vintage car for the aspiring classic car connoisseur. It won’t rob your pocket book with fat bills from hairy knuckled guys name Mario (like an Alfa or Porsche) and the trusty 4-cylinder engines will happily run on 3 for years. This one happens to not be running […]
The Volvo 122S/Amazon is regular feature on Daily Turismo because they are rugged, cool looking and (most importantly) cheap! Imagine our shock/horror/flabergastification (that isn’t a word) when we witnessed an original condition one we featured skyrocket from the $8k when we picked it up to $36k at the end of bidding…which turned out to be […]
The Volvo 122S/Amazon is a 50’s styled classic Volvo that (usually) doesn’t cost an arm/leg to purchase, drive or restore. Recent questionable market transactions have suggested otherwise, but the vast majority of 122S/Amazons around are still good deals. Today’s 122S/Amazon isn’t just a good deal, it is a crazy restomodded hot rod with a turbo […]
