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.

Coastal's webmaster, Norm Marx, is also a traveling photographer for the Charlotte-based Pro All Star Series (PASS), which promotes regional tours for Super Late Models and other classes up and down the East Coast.

Norm was recently at a PASS race at L'Autodrome Chaudiere in Canada's province of Quebec, where some local vintage stock cars were a support class. His original intent was show the big-block Pinto Modified painted in the immortal Richie Evans's colors, and wonder out loud how many such re-created cars resembling those of Evans, who was killed in 1985, exist nationally. Our attention was drawn to the other cars, particularly that Corvair-bodied stock car.
