The Jensen-Healey was the by-product of a union between Donald Healey, noted British car designer Bill Towns, and Jensen Motors. It was a failed attempt to recreate the magic that made the Austin-Healey 3000 such a hit (and collectible today) but it was too late for Jensen Motors as financial and operational difficulties led to […]
The turn signal was first introduced to the public in 1938 in a Buick and described as a “Flash-way directional signal.” A few years later Buick added a self canceling feature to the signal stalk and by the 1950s most US states required functioning turn signals on all new cars. It is ironic that Buick […]

The BMW Neue Klasse (New Class) was sold from 1962-1976 with a number of 4-cylinder engines. If it had ever been sold new with the Buick/Rover 215 V8, it would have been badged a BMW 3500 and would have been fantastic, something a hot-rodder in SoCal decided to prove. This 1967 BMW 1600 project car […]

It was a large car by todays standards and was available as a convertible, coupe, hardtop, sedan and wagon. Power came from a variety of inline 6 and V8 options, […]
The editors of the Daily Turismo feel that Batman has been getting entirely too much press – what with AMC Javelin based Batmobiles and all sorts of Horrorod’s dedicated to the caped crusader. We want to feature some other comic book heros and think a Superman theme would be perfect. This 1985 Buick LeSabre has […]
The Buick Electra was based on GM’s ubiquitous C-body platform, sharing components with all kinds of Cadillacs, Buicks, Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles. This 1969 Buick Electra 225 is for sale by its original owner (a 92 year old retired WWII vet and auto mechanic) in Elgin, IL, currently bidding on ebay at $2550 reserve-not-met with buy-it-now […]
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.
