We no dummies here at Hemmings. We know you got a big charge out of the Studebaker Coupe Express we highlighted a couple weeks ago, so we knew we’d have to make the white triangle fans happy and post up this 1947 Hudson Big Boy 3/4-ton pickup when we came Read more

So my buddy Jeff down in Georgia is all bummed that he’s stuck in the house with eight inches of snow on the ground. I tol’ him to get out and have some fun like these hoodlums. The footage is remixed from the longer video below, which shows more of Read more

One of the attractions for passionate vehicle people in Macungie, Pennsylvania, has long been the Mack Trucks Historical Museum, located on Main Street, just steps from the huge show field at Macungie Park and a Mack assembly plant.

The danger in recycling automotive styling cues is that what worked then may not work now. Radio-equipped Sixties cars came with a mast antenna attached to the body by some manner of fastener.
