Fortunately for this 1951 Jeep M38 for sale on Hemmings.com, it has appeared to have spent the majority of its life in Colorado rather than New England. Had it not been that fortunate, it would have long ago been pressed into plow truck duty and run like a dog until Read more

This isn’t part of it, but I’ve been getting some feedback since I tapped out a column for the April 2010 issue of Hemmings Classic Car, which, in part, described my discovery of a Marmon-powered Ford coupe in one of the terrific Don Montgomery hot rod history books. Hemmings Nation Read more
