The Renault 5, aka “Le Car,” was a popular hatchback in Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. Because, you know, Europeans love nothing more than cramped spaces, awkward designs and walking to their destination. The 5 was known for its tendency to break down at the slightest hint of trouble, and its unique styling that […]
Daily Turismo is always on the hunt for the weirdest, most obscure cars and this next kammback designed beauty is definitely one for the books. This French freak is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t trust anything made by the French (except for wine, of course…and cheese…and baguettes but that’s it). The Citroen CX […]
This next listing starts with a few simple words from the seller: Hey guys, purchased this car on bring a trailer a few months ago. Relized will not have much time to enjoy it. So looking to sell it. Ooof, that’s not good. The idea of buying a classic car on one of those expensive […]
I bet you can guess who was the head of design at Peugeot when this next car was released. Stylish boxy shape, details that make the design great, and a handsome façade — yup this is a Pininfarina design, but the interior was penned by our favorite French designer Paul Bracq. Unfortunately, the 505 (even […]
The Citroën 2CV was a French “people’s car” that provided simple mobility to the unwashed masses, with a staggering production that lasted from 1948 through 1990. However, that didn’t mean you couldn’t take an existing 2CV and cover it in spiffy bodywork and make it a three wheeled thing called the “Lomax”. Find this 1991 […]
The Citroën ID19 was a cheaper and lower powered version of the Citroen DS (pronounced Déesse as the French word for goddess) sold from 1957-1975. The ID used the same body as the basic DS, but was sold at a cheaper price point for those who still wanted the Bertoni and Lefèbvre designed body but […]
I was just watching an old episode of my favorite tv show (The Grand Tour) and those funny British guys were skewering French car culture…and it made me think, perhaps I would enjoy owning a French car. And then I remembered how expensive divorce can be and decided to share this Citroën with you guys. […]
I think I might have too many tabs open. I’ve got three monitors hooked up to this computer and each screen has a difference instance of my preferred web browser (nope, not Netscape Navigator…but Vivaldi) and I wish I could tell you how many tabs are open but I can barely click on the little […]
When was the last time you saw a Renault 4 in this nice condition? Okay, let’s try that again, when was the last time you saw a Renault 4? Unless you are one of the few hundred (or thousand?) kooks who owns one of these things in the States, you probably have never seen a […]
I featured a pile of rusting Citroea the other day instantly regretted the decision. There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Citroën, so to make amends with the Francophiles in the room, I’m featuring this righteously sweet DS with a sharp coat of paint and what appears to be functioning oleopneumatics…for now. Find this […]
