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.

Hemmings' newest addition, the 1932 Ford speedster, has been raced before and doesn't need a whole lot done to it mechanically. But since it has arrived, the race decals from earlier events have been removed and new gold lettering has been added. The hood panels also lacked the emblems that were removed at some point before the car got here. We identified what was there by the outline of the emblem in the paint and the triangular bolt pattern.

The knock-off wheels will make it much easier for the crew to change a flat out on the road during a competition. This is also one of the few instances where nitrogen is preferred over air in a road tire.
