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.

In a couple of months, though, it will get another chance at making history at RM's Amelia Island auction.

It's an ugly car.....When you look at what's available from that era, I don't see this getting much attention....Here's a '32 Auburn V-12 boat tail speedster , then you have the Deusenberg and Packard and others....
