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.

Research into 1950s fiberglass cars, both kit and independent production, sorely lacks. There's a little bit on the Kellison, a little bit on the LaDawri, and not much beyond. Thus, we can understand why Stephen O'Brien doesn't know much about the fiberglass-bodied car in the above picture, even though he owned it for a brief time in the mid-1950s. We're pretty sure it's some sort of Glasspar, though with a modified grille area. Perhaps a Series II Woodill Wildfire?
