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.

(First) Love is Blind: How to Explain the Yearning for a Brown Chevette

Posted October 09, 2019 9:00 AM by dstrohl

Not everybody gets the apple of their eye for a first car. Instead, probably most of us had to make do with second-hand (or third, fourth, fifth-hand…) cars that were cheap and not so precious to anybody else. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t loved or incapable of holding a special place in the hearts of those 16-year-olds who’d take anything over another ride on the bus to school.

Such is the case with James Schwartz, who recently submitted a story on his first car, the only car he’d ever like to buy back if he had the chance.

Schwartz's first car never lived up to its "shove-it" nickname, and he remembers it fondly because of it.
