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.

Most wouldn't think of the ponycar genre when viewing the Edwards America. Instead, it looks more like the Chrysler Falcon/K-310/C-200/D'Elegance show cars of the mid-1950s. But the long-hood/short-deck design is there, along with the V-8 up front, the sporty intentions and the light weight. And had Sterling Edwards built more than six of the wonderful fiberglass cars, we could see how their design would eventually evolve into something more like the Mustangs and Camaros of the 1960s. This four-pager from SIA #35, July-August 1976, follows the America's development and extremely limited production run.

Actually, to me, this looks more like a Studebaker Champion trying to morph into a modern Rolls Royce...
