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.

Lee Iacocca, 1924-2019

He was the driving force behind the Ford Mustang, as well as the Ford Pinto, intended to be the compact car that save Ford from the imports. Later, at the helm of Chrysler, Lee Iacocca would spearhead the development of the domestic minivan, but not before rescuing the ailing automaker from potential bankruptcy with government co-signed loans and the practical, affordable K-car. On Tuesday, July 2, Iacocca died in his Bel Air, California home, age 94.

Hemmings Daily remembers the designer of many famous classic autos.
