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.

I let nature take care of mine.

Nothing says don't steal me like four flat tires, a bad engine, and brush 5 - 7 feet high growing around it.

I was going to make some snide comment about my imaginary Pacer wagon, then I found this:

I decided I would refrain in deference to all those who love their Pacers.
