The Volvo 122S Amazon went into production in 1956 when fenders were bulbous and cars were slow, but somehow it managed to survive the axe through 1970.

When you are down on your luck and things don't look good, call a successful friend. That's what British Leyland did in the 1980's when they struck up a partnership to build cars in the European Union with Honda of Japan.

One of the resulting cars was the Rover 800, sold as the Sterling here in the US. Find this 1989 Sterling 827SL for sale in Sequim, WA for $2,900 via craigslist.

It seems today's car enthusiasts are a bit nostalgic for the station wagon. Domestic automakers used to offer station wagons in many flavors. In the early 1990's, Ford introduced the Explorer and the SUV craze took hold leaving wagon fans in the hands of import brands Mercedes and Volvo. Malaise era cars came with smog choked V8 engines that put out pathetic horsepower numbers. However, the advent of the Chevy LS V8 engine has almost single-handedly breathed new life into these poor performers and created a lot of sleepers in the process.

The Jaguar XJ-6 was launched in 1968 and I wonder if it even took a week before the first one was powered by a small block Chevy V8. The shoehorning of SBC into Jags is almost out of hand to the point where it would be considered objectionable...except that they add power/torque/reliability at a reduced cost...so...yeah.

The Cony 360 was a micro car/truck/van built by the Aichi Machine Industry Co, which built aircraft carriers before and during the war. Legend has it that Airchi was the recipient of German technology between the two World Wars because the Germans were limited in what they could design/produce and had to find an outlet for their engineering efforts. After the 2nd World War the company focused their efforts on automotive endeavors like this next thing. Find this 1970 Cony 360 Wide Pickup offered for $7,500 in Mentor, OH via craigslist.

Have you ever thought of the perfect one-liner reply to some joker on the way home from your tête-à -têtem, there is a term for that L'esprit d'escalier-- roughly translated into english as staircase wit. I don't have that issues as much as I have the issue of realizing that the price of some junker classic is going to skyrocket into oblivion about six months after prices jump. L'esprit d'esprit is what I'm going to call this next thing. Find this 1983 Lotus Esprit offered for $10,000 in Moreno Valley, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On.
The Left-Handed Spanner, by Kaibeezy: Remember the "Swagger Wagon"? Way back in 2012, Toyota dropped this slammin' vid featuring painfully hip folk swaggerin' about their wagon.
When you think about F-body cars, Chrysler compacts from the late 70's likely don't come to mind first. The Dodge Aspen and its twin Chrysler Volare' were made from 1976-1980 and were successors to the very popular Dart/Duster/Valiant triplets. The Aspen sedan and wagon rode on a longer wheel base than the coupes. Small block 318 and 360 V8's were factory options, but today's grocery getter is powered by a big block 400. Find this 1977 Dodge Aspen wagon for sale in Roxbury, CT for $2,600 via craigslist.

The original Batmobile was built by George Barris for that 60s TV show starring Adam West and Burt Ward, on top of a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car and sold for $4,2 million in 2013.

I worked with a French Canadian born salesman who lived in Mexico City and talked faster that the MicroMachines guy, but he could sell a toothpick delivery service to a hockey player only retirement community. He once told me that half the battle is getting your foot in the door, and the best way in was with an awesome product feint...something that gets the buyer's eye, but then you sell him some other pile of junk.
