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.

Shockingly, Londoners Declare Great Britain World’s Greatest Automobile Producing Country

Day continues to follow night, grass remains green, and the inhabitants of one car-producing country maintain that their car industry has produced the best cars in the world. The most recent such declaration came toward the end of the recent London Classic Car Show, where visitors voted Great Britain to the top of the show's Classic Six Nations Cup.

The competition - intended to settle the question of which country turned out most of the world's greatest cars over the decades - included Japan, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and Great Britain in a series of three matchups for each country over the show's three days. Show organizers selected 10 cars to represent each country, and the matchups consisted of debates over the countries' respective pros and cons while representative cars paraded down the indoor show's Grand Avenue.

Why Great Britain is home to the most prestigious auto manufacturers (according to Brits).
