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.

The latest batch of photos from the archive boxes didn't include too many unrecognizeables, but it did at least include this photo to accompany a classified ad for a 1967 Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S Deluxe that featured dual tanks, wide alloy wheels, a fiberglass front end and reclining Paddy Hopkirk seats. Take $2,750 to Florida (in November 1978) and it's all yours. Take a six-pack of Coors and he's all yours, lay-dees.

But now he is mid fifties, has a pot belly, and grey hair growing out of his ears, which he combs over to cover his bald head.
