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.

Vegas Vacation (Part 2)

Posted April 16, 2009 12:01 AM by dstrohl

You wouldn't think I'd visit Las Vegas without hitting up the Imperial Palace collection, would you? The last time I visited the town, I kicked myself for not making the time to see it, especially considering the fact that I stayed in the hotel immediately next to the Imperial Palace, so I swore I wouldn't miss it this time.

Note that collection managers refrain from calling it a museum; instead, they call it a showroom, because almost all of the cars in the collection are for sale. Likely for that reason, every car in the collection was well lit and plainly displayed, rather than in a museum setting. The cars also seemed nearly haphazardly arranged, skipping easily among brands and motifs, though we did note that coachbuilt cars, as well as race-prepped cars, seemed to have their own spaces.

I've been through that place three times over the years..

Nice collection of cars, but they do seem to be displayed like they were thrown into the room.

I've spent more time in the IP with the amazingly talented performers.. cough cough i mean.. "Dealertainers!"
