Anniversary Madness!
Here are some ‘interesting’ and low-mile MN12 anniversary specials that all popped up around the same time. First, we have a 1990 Thunderbird SC 35th Anniversary Special. This was a pretty good example of a special, in that it was reserved for supercharged SC trim. Also, it had unique seats with alcantara before it was…

Best Volvo Bertone Coupe collection in the world?
If we understand this ad correctly, this person has no fewer than four Volvo Bertone Coupes for sale, spanning two (well, both) generations of the product.

Diversion: Fantastic combo!
This appears to have everything you’ll ever need. We remember console stereos with hinged tops, but this the audio + fireplace combination takes the concept to a whole new level. It would be interesting to see if anyone ever tried to burn real wood in one of these. This seems like it would fit well…

Smallest V6
These are cool little cars with their 1.8LV6 engine. This one might be pretty beat – hard to tell when the ad says so little. Actually, part of what the ad says makes no sense, and that’s part of what we love about it. “this mazda has every but window & door lock on drive…
