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.

It is, of course, the bug-eyed Colonnade-like design that makes it so. After all, the coupe generates way more comments than the more conservative Matador sedan.

This 1977 AMC Matador coupe, one of the desirable Barcelona editions, looks from the photos to be a well-preserved example. It's equipped with the 360 V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power disc brakes, and cruise control.

...I preferred the short-wheelbase, 2-door, AMX with the hi-po 390 cid engine!
