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.

Cool Cars: 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air

Posted April 30, 2010 12:01 AM by dstrohl

While most customs don't require a 12-year build period, this 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air for sale on Hemmings.com was built less according to the owner's whims and more as a tribute to Moonglow, Duane Steck's 1954 Chevrolet show car that made the cover of Car Craft in 1957, then was allegedly crushed sometime in the 1960s.

From the seller's description: "For smooth cruising a new overdrive 700R Transmission and Mustang II front end with Camaro Disc brakes. A 57 Chev rear end with 3:70 gears offers the best for city and highway driving. Firestone Air Bag suspension on all four corners, allows for correct cruising height and wicked dropped showing height. Vintage air conditioning and a great stereo compatible with i-pods completes the driving experience."
