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.

Because the folks behind PontiacPulse went and scanned more than 200 Pontiac brochures, for cars from the 1940s all the way through the 2000s. Hey, look, the Astre! There's some gaps here and there, so here's hoping they continue to add historical content to the PontiacPulse.

Despite GM's problems, it seems they still have the time and effort to branch out into new concepts like social networking . . .

Hopefully, they'll get serious about some larger issues (fuel efficiency comes to mind), too.
