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.

Bird-Watching from Afar: Name This Specimen

We look at a lot of cars in any given day. A lot of cars. And when it comes to muscle cars, we see our fair share of 1st-Gen Camaros and Firebirds. So, when a great old photo comes across our path that stops us in our tracks, we feel like it’s one worth sharing with you.

Take, for instance, this ’67 Firebird convertible, complete with early ’70s-correct polished slots, webbing, gun-squirts, fades and panels. Not to mention two velocity stacks on carbs poking through the hood, as a Nova (SS, maybe?) looks on.

We're looking for details on the 'peacocked' Firebird in this photo from the 1970s. Any help?
