Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Recommended Reading – Sixteen Cylinder Motorcars: An Illustrated History

Posted May 10, 2012 9:00 AM by dstrohl

Perhaps the most coveted motorcars of all time are those powered by V-16 engines. Although the auto manufacturers who engineered 16-cylinder engines are few and far between, all those that did are profiled in this wonderful history on that prestigious powertrain.

While the most popular prominent nameplate associated with 16-cylinder power was Cadillac, it's no wonder that the majority of this book's content focuses on that marque; however, all the V-16-powered Marmons are featured as well, followed by coverage of Peerless, and even the Italian company, Bucciali.

Within the 242 pages of this hardcover 8.75 x 11.25-inch book, written by Roy A. Schneider, you'll discover information not only on the cars themselves, but you'll learn about the design philosophy behind creating these V-16 Classics, along with some fascinating technical information that focuses specifically on the engines of Cadillac and Marmon.
