Excerpts taken from world famous ‘Hemmings Auto Blog’
Bobby, Vance, and the Kid all lined up, knowing it’d be a suicide run, but none of them had a thing to lose other than their pride and their last cigarettes. Open headers spit flames at each other, taunting, trash-talking with burnt hydrocarbons instead of words. They didn’t need a Read more
Why exactly the Library of Congress has a dozen photos of the Great Neck Shopping Center in Great Neck, New York (now apparently the Garden of Great Neck Center), we don’t know, but we’re more than happy to inspect them in the name of automotive curiosity. Above, a shot taken Read more
Chevrolet didn’t build many Greenbriers in the first place, so there can’t be very many Greenbrier-based ambulances out there, if there are indeed more than just this 1962 Chevrolet Greenbrier ambulance for sale on Hemmings.com, which appears not only ready for shows and cruising, but also still capable of active Read more
Rough? Yes. Ready? No, but the seller of this 1965 Dodge D100 for sale on Hemmings.com started a resurrection of the old workhorse that could make for an interesting truck when finished.

In a year that pretty much defined the Fifties, Chevrolet brought out the car that has pretty much defined the collector car hobby for most people. While the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has suffered its slings and arrows since then – largely for enjoying such massive popularity – it remains Read more
Photos courtesy Renault. The beautiful, amazingly accomplished Alpine A110 Berlinette was Renault’s world-beating entry on the world rally stage in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Renault remains proud of this Alpine’s heritage, and this automaker’s Classic division is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the A110′s one-two-three finish in the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally by Read more
Not a lot of vehicles to identify in today’s street scene, which we came across in the Duke University Libraries digital archives, but it’s still worth checking out for the cars that we do see. As for the location, we can’t pin it down any more than the city or Read more
