Excerpts taken from world famous ‘Hemmings Auto Blog’
Street rodders are nothing if not creative, as we see from this Ford-based street rod (the seller calls it a ’30, so presumably that’s what’s on the title) fitted with a stretch limo woody body and for sale on Hemmings.com. If there’s another like it in the world, we’d be Read more
The John Vachon photos from Lincoln, Nebraska, that we ran the other day had us hungry for more mid-century street scenes in color, and David Greenlees over at The Old Motor came through for us with this postcard from Lordsburg, New Mexico, circa 1950. Lordsburg appears to have always been Read more
A few months ago, David Nawrocki gave us a sneak peek of his new website, Dimostra.com, which he designed to essentially serve as an online automotive museum. Assembling high-quality photography, information and history on a number of unique and gorgeous cars, David was able to bring to light many cars Read more
Hard to believe we haven’t yet posted this photo from the Library of Congress archives, because it makes for an excellent street scene shot. We know exactly where Farm Security Administration photographer John Vachon stood when he took this photograph – just south of the intersection of 13th Street and Read more

This time, it’s one we already know, but worth taking another look at: Lou Fageol’s twin-engine Porsche 356, shot in August 1953 at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, during the Seattle Seafair SCCA races. This would Read more
A few weeks back, we brought you the story of a 1979 Pontiac 10th Anniversary Trans Am that was still at the dealership that had taken delivery of the car when new. The car had never been sold, never been titled, and showed just 6.7 miles on the odometer. The Read more
So here’s the question: What would you do with a Plymouth 413-cu.in. Max Wedge V-8, such as this one for sale on Hemmings.com? It’d be great to find the car it came out of and reunite the two, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that outcome. Clone? Tribute? Sure, Read more
When we go out to shows and meet car people across the country, they often ask us about Terry Ehrich, the former publisher of Hemmings Motor News, who left behind one heck of a legacy. He also left behind an unfinished barn/house/garage that every Hemmings editor has at one point Read more
