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 a good chunk of the concept car images we found poking around in the Ford image archive were related somehow to Alex Tremulis, a good chunk more apparently weren't, such as this rendering dated January 27, 1954. The signature isn't entirely legible, but we believe it to read "Spencer." There very well could have been dozens of designers named Spencer working at Ford at the time, but we believe this to be the work of Kenneth Spencer, a designer hired on at Ford in July 1949.
