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.

Through the Years With Three Long-Term Muscle Cars

With most of the cars from the original muscle era now having at least 40 years' worth of experiences behind them, the stories we hear from owners are vast and varied, and often quite entertaining. Naturally, the best tales come from those who have held onto the same cars for decades, and it's all the better when these owners have photographic evidence to support their account of past exploits.

For the next issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, we've gathered three cars and the owners who have held onto them over the past 40 years or so, laying out their personal histories in timeline form to depict the changes each endured as the years rolled by and various trends in automotive and personal style came and went. All of our subjects have not only survived, but each currently displays the effects of contemporary restorations that have them looking better than they likely did when their owners first took title - in fact, they might all look better now than on the day they rolled off their respective assembly lines.
