Hemmings Auto Blog

Rather than showing page after page of cars, Hemmings show coverage focuses on getting a smaller number of in-depth stories, little vignettes into why a given car is important to someone. So at the Keels & Wheels Concours today, I enjoyed spending time with owners, and hearing their stories. I Read more

Allegedly the last production vehicle with a rumble seat (though there were plenty of one-offs since), and certainly the shortest dual-windshield vehicle ever, this 1949 Triumph 2000 for sale on Hemmings.com with its whitewalls looks very much like a European reflection of 1930s American art deco streamliners. From the seller’s Read more

Between the 12-hour days and lack of internet access yesterday, I wasn’t able to post an update from Texas. Well, in the interim I’ve shot 7 cars, six of them in comparos. First, one caveat: it rained, yesterday (Friday) and today. More yesterday than today, but it resulted in some creative Read more

I think there’s more square footage in this 1955 Flxible bus-turned-motorhome than there was in my first apartment. And if that trailer comes with it, then it even has its own garage – much better than the on-street parking of my first apartment. From the seller’s description: 1955 VL100 Flxible Read more

Better than the condition in which this 1926 Mack AB is to be found, is the history that accompanies it. That’s what makes something like this really stand out – to know who used the truck and for what purposes – rather than to just see it for what it Read more

WWG Houston Classic tent. After a hectic morning in Seabrook getting my auction cars wrapped up at WWG, I headed up to Taylor, near Austin, where Jeff Snyder of Jeff’s Resurrections has been helping me line up feature cars to shoot. Thrillingly, my Jaguar SS comparo is going to come Read more

I have a feeling RM Auctions is totally baiting us into featuring this 1938 Longhorn as a Hemmings Find of the Day, but I’m totally taking the bait anyway. It’s scheduled to cross the block at the company’s upcoming Pate Collection auction June 4-5 in Cresson, Texas, and it’s being Read more

“As close to a production car as a VW kit car gets” is how the Bremen Sport Sebring is usually described, being the output of Al Hildebrand, a distributor of the Sterling kit car, who decided he could build it better and did. Most sources say that Hildebrand built something Read more

There was a lot to see at the Charlotte AutoFair, and even with five editors roaming the grounds, there was no way that we could see it all. One of the treats was the strong turnout by Charlotte’s own Queen City Corvair Club, in honor of their favorite model’s golden Read more

I’ll bet Hugo90 has a brochure of one of these in his collection. Most American collector car enthusiasts know only of the Sabra Sport, the Reliant-based convertible sports car from the only Israeli auto manufacturer, Autocars Co. And indeed, even the seller of this 1960 Sussita can offer no more Read more
