Hemmings Motor News Blog Blog

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.

We’re Collectors Not Hoarders…There is a Difference

Has anyone ever jokingly referred to you as a hoarder because of your collection of cars or car paraphernalia? Have you ever wondered if you may be one? If so, after reading this blog you will hopefully be able to reply, "No, actually I'm a collector, and here is why I know this to be true…"

Back in 2003 when I moved to a different house, there were no TV shows about hoarding like there are today. When I wrote the blog two weeks ago about that move, for the first time it made me ask myself if I am in fact a hoarder of many things muscle car and vintage car related - cars, parts, tools, books, magazines, automobilia, et cetera.

My main concern revolved around how much more stuff I've collected in the 11 years since I moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania.

Read more of this hoarding introspective on Hemmings.

If that's the Chilton motorcycle manual, you can send it to me.
