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.

While researching last week's Divco-Jeep Six Degrees Challenge, I plunged into Robert Ebert and John Rienzo's 1997 book, "Divco: A History of the Truck and Company," and found that the two had presented quite a bit of knowledge and photographs of the various factories that produced Divcos over the company's 60-year history. And as it turns out, the last of those factories has a personal connection.
