Recently, managing editor Kate Sullivan and I headed into eastern Colombia County, New York, to photograph a Driveable Dream for Hemmings Classic Car when we happened upon a small collection of cars on the side of the road. Not wanting to delay the car owner and family, we made a mental note to stop on the way back to our Bennington office.
A couple of hours later, we blew right past the location and nearly gave ourselves whiplash in the process. One minute later, and camera in hand, we quickly...
You may have already noticed that at Hemmings, we think Jeeps are way cool, everything from the early Bantam prototypes to the Grand Wagoneers that you still see in great numbers in, mostly, Texas. Because I spotted Matt Litwin doing culls from the thousands of photos (literally) that we shot at this spring’s AutoFair in Charlotte, I decided to grab some action, too. Here’s something I grabbed in the car corral, although I can’t recall if it was actually for sale or simply...
Yes, we’ve been highlighting Hugo90’s photos in the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool quite a bit lately (only because he comes up with some cool stuff, like the all-aluminum Pierce-Arrow and the mystery Dodge), so we should point out that quite a few other Flickr members have been posting some equally cool stuff of their own to the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool. Take, for instance, Bluejacket, one of our earliest Flickr pool members, who’s been posting dozens of photos from this...
When I wrote about Classic Car Services’ restoration of the Pebble Beach-winning Mormon Meteor for Hemmings Classic Car last year, shop owner Chris Charlton told me that one of the many challenges in returning the car to its original condition was recreating the two head fairings, which had been lost. Well, by an amazing stroke of luck, they’ve been found - as have four of the car’s original wheels, and three of its distinctive, orangewall Firestone tires.
Chris had taken...
Though less a Half-Hour History and more a simple pictorial tour of rumbleseats throughout the years, Bill Williams’s article from SIA #33, March-April 1976, includes some interesting historical tidbits, such as the photos of the mini convertible tops used at the time to shield rumbleseat passengers from the elements (why not just get a touring?) and photos of the late 1950s early 1960s revival of the rumbleseat via dealer and aftermarket conversions. And, of course, no such article...
* Looks like a pancaked Porsche 356, dunnit? Close, kinda. Andy Rupert over at the High Maintenance blog chose this little Austrian air-cooled rear-engined sports car (no, I said it’s not a Porsche) for his 50th mystery car recently, and he chose a good stumper at that. To find out what it is and to get a brief history of it, head on over to Andy’s site.
* It was kind of a shoutout from Robert McClellan in his latest newsletter, and it came in a nifty article on Ford truck and van...
