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.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the trip, two groups of women are following Ramsey's tire tracks with a cross-continental trip of their own in a 1909 Cadillac and a 1915 Model T.

Another road trip, this one across India and on the back of a Royal Enfield motorcycle. And because roadtripper Gary Richards works for Mack and Volvo, he took plenty of pics of the highly decorated trucks plying the narrow roads in India.

What changes have needed to be made to the route since June 1909 to allow for road improvements and other construction activities?
