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.

Pinto Air Freight Crosley

Posted October 05, 2010 9:00 AM by dstrohl

In the year and a half since we first got a glimpse of the Pinto Air Freight Crosley mini-semi (if "semi" is the prefix for half, then would this be a quarter-truck?), we've learned that it was built in the 1950s by John Giordano Sr. and Biagio R. Pinto; that it resided in a junkyard in Middlesex, New Jersey, when the photos were taken; and that it's not for sale (drat!!).

We also were sent this video showing the Crosley more in depth, including the Chevrolet four-cylinder engine that had been swapped in for the Crosley 'banger.

Does it explode into flames if it gets rear-ended?
