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.

An Amazing Hudson Collection, Hidden in Plain Sight

Posted October 28, 2015 9:00 AM by dstrohl

This Twainism rings true, though, with the story of Eldon Hostetler who spent his youth as an Amish farm boy near Shipshewana, Indiana in the 1920s and 1930s. Yes, an Amish farm boy, helping his father and grandfather work the fields with horse and mule power, as well as some mechanical power for his grandfather who specialized in harvesting and threshing. As an adult, Eldon became an expert in raising chickens and actually does hold almost one hundred patents, mostly for poultry feeding and watering systems.

From Amish farmboy to distinguished car collector and inventor.

Wow what a collection of really nice cars. I live less than an hour away and have not seen them. I will have to make an effort to see these cars next time I have to go back north to work.And as a reference to the people in this area they are extremely friendly, and the food in the area is really great, and will leave you in a food overload coma.
