It is eerie and quiet over at DT headquarters. The kids are almost in bed and the 65 Buick Roadmaster is tucked away under a tarp (its got some leaks that need attention) and your Editor-in-Chief has consumed enough eggnog to feel sleepy. I've only got a few minutes to wish you all a Merry Christmas before I have to be Santa..but I will leave you with this Christmas car photo collage that Kaibeezy put together a few years ago.
I have the good fortune of working and living near a few good vintage Volvo mechanics, so I get to see the occasional 1800/P1800 cruising around on the road, but the average driver sees one or two in his lifetime and probably thinks they are an Austin Healey, Aston Martin, or maybe even a Ferrari. So if you are looking for an inexpensive and interesting car that'll have people scratching your head and you don't like the Triumph GT6, this is the next best bet. Find this 1972 Volvo 1800ES offered for $9,700 CAD ($7373 USD) in Royston, BC via kijiji.net. Tip from Erik202.
Merry Christmas to all from the staff at Daily Turismo. We are taking to day off from posting the best classics, junk, and awesome stuff on the internet to spend the day with family and hope you do the same. In the meantime, enjoy this recycled Christmas image from KBZ.

It is December, which means that my ears are ringing from the sound of those guys in red who ring bells at non-OSHA approved decibel levels for hours on end in front of grocery stores for a few nickles that get tossed into the tri-pod suspended red soup bucket. The payback period on capital spent on those silly donation buckets hangers must be short enough that the amount they spend on bell clappers doesn't exceed the daily donations...but I've totally lost the point..December...yes, almost Christmas time, and all I want for Christmas is an LSX powered Datsun coupe. Like this 1978 Datsun 280Z here on eBay bidding for $8,300 reserve-not-met with 3 days to go, located in Denver, CO.
Merry Christmas to all, from the staff of Daily Turismo. We wish you the best of times with your family and are looking forward to the New Year. We are going to take the day off from posting the best used cars on the interwebs, and we hope you do too!
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the garage(Christmas Special By Kaibeezy) There's a lake-effect deep drift of Xmas and Santa themed car art out
there. Much of it, shall we say, not to be an art snob (but, really, who
am I kidding), somewhere along the spectrum from bad to cheezy to goofy
to dopey to really really bad.
A long time ago, in an alternate dimension, a young Bruce Wayne is orphaned. His parent's wealth is soon depleted by a drunken Alfred's gambling spree and young Bruce is cast into the abyss of foster care. He is a nice kid and soon enough adopted by Mama June and Honey Bear of Honey Boo Boo fame. Hours turn to years and Bruce's anger towards the world is not tempered. He eventually works enough part time hours at the local Walmart to build his first Batmobile. Here it is. Find this 1966 Fiberfab Banshee here on eBay
currently bidding for $6,200 with a few days to go, located in Warren, MI.
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home! -- Charles Dickens 
Christmas day is tomorrow and to get into the spirit, we'd will feature some Christmas themed cars. First up is this 1937 Oldsmobile Six Touring Sedan, the same car that Ralphie's dad drove in Bob Clark's 1983 A Christmas Story. "Some men are Baptists, others Catholics, my father was an Oldsmobile man." This Olds is offered for $9999 in Reno, NV via craigslist.
