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.

“Make Winter Driving Safer” in the Early 1980s

Though my son had already been taught how to prepare for and drive in poor weather, I felt that this educational film, which was produced for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety by Countryman Klang Inc. back in the early 1980s could reaffirm a few of those lessons. It was a refresher for his older sister and his mother and me, but there’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s one of the more productive ways to spend 12-and-half minutes in front of a computer with the family.

Cars are different today than they were 30 years ago, but these winter driving tips remain helpful for all.

One of the best ways is to spend some time in a very large, empty, plowed but with icy patches and lots of packed powder parking lot devoid of curbs and hopefully few light posts. (Not to mention that front-wheel drive cars in reverse do awesome donuts. )
