100cc of Social Displacement: 1939 Peugeot P52 Motorcycle

This next car...errr...two wheeler...comes from tipper Brad who writes: I thought you might dig this very interesting (presumably rare) little motorbike—although I cannot recall whether you are a cars-only outlet...This old cycle definitely deserves the label survivor, esp. considering it was produced in Europe just as WW2 was getting underway.  It seems like all the money is being asked but, as usual, where will you find another? Anyhow, what’s better for social distancing than a single-seater? There’s no room to haul bulk parcels of toilet paper, but they cannot be found anyway. Stay safe.  I couldn't have said it better myself -- thanks Brad!!  Find this 1939 Peugeot P52 Motorcycle offered for $3500 in Coatesville, PA via craigslist.

Rally Like Erik: 1966 SAAB 96 Special


We all know Thorsday is the best day of the week. How can you have Thorsday without awesome Swedish steel? You can’t, so for your consideration is this example of a car with an engine that sounds like a nest of angry bees, needs oil, and may possibly smoke more than a middle school student behind the teacher’s lounge. With emission standards tightening it is hard to find two stroke marine engines and weed eaters let alone automobile engines. The rules are making it harder, and I submit conspiring, to prevent us from unleashing our inner Erik Carlsson and beating the likes of Porsche, MG, and fellow Swede Volvo in a rally stage with an underpowered car. But wait! Here is your opportunity as some hero has listed this 1966 SAAB 96 Special on Craigslist in Upton Massachusetts for a mere $6,000.00. That price is of course U.S. Dollars and not Swedish Krona.

WWII Paratrooper: 1942 Excelsior Welbike

There are few things more terrifying than the idea of parachuting into a Nazi infested European mainland equipped only with a small folding motorcycle.   However, an enemy that is doubled over in laughter at seeing you ride a clown-cycle is perhaps an easier target.  Find this 1942 Excelsior Welbike here on eBay with starting bid of $7,500 reserve-not-met located in Santa Rosa, CA with 3 days to go.

BOGO: Two 1969 SAAB 95 Projects

The SAAB 95 (not the 9-5!) was a 7 seat, 2-door wagon from Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget that reminds us of the days before SAAB was mercilessly run into the ground by bean counters, and designed cars that looked like rocket ships. Today's feature is for two 95s with little detail from the seller on specs or condition, but a fantastic asking price.  Find these two 1969 SAAB 95 Projects offered for $1,000 in Ojai, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Sean.

Save The Saabs: 1968 SAAB 96

The vintage car market is a fickle thing -- while plenty of low buck classic marques survive the years due to sheer mass (think VW Beetle, W108 Benz), other oddball classics aren't worth enough for collectors to pay attention, but they weren't built in large enough numbers to survive being used as winter beaters and they are slowly becoming extinct.  These are cars like Studebakers, AMCs, and Saabs -- particularly the old two-stroke variety that ooze charisma and oil in equal quantities.  Find this 1968 SAAB 96 here on eBay bidding for $2,025 reserve-not-met with 2 days to go.

Coffee Brake: What Would Chuck Norris Drive?

Welcome to another edition of Daily Turismo's Coffee Brake, where we ponder questions and riddles that have plagued mankind for generations, such as why are harvest moons orange and why is the Michelin man white?  Today we breach a subject that is on the tip of everyone's tongue; what would Chuck Norris drive?
