It's hard to imagine that a car like Robert Redlich's 1958 Mercedes 190SL is merely "making due," a stop-gap of sorts. Believe it or not, it's "settling," but that's only because one of the most icon...
This week, here at the Muscle Machines newsletter, we’re featuring a smart little ’51 Henry J gasser-style ruler for sale on hemmings.com. Sure, there are plently of these cars around nowadays…and da...
There’s a question right now, hanging over car culture, and it’s no secret: What do we do about our beloved car shows and cruise nights and garage hangs in the days of COVID-19? What about visions of...
Is there anything more fun than heads-up, straight-axled drag cars on the street? Than backing a car off a trailer where mere mortals park commuter crossovers? Than trying to time the last smokey bur...
"Better late than never," they seem to say. It's been more than a year since my latest project made its debut with H&R Springs, center stage, at SEMA 2018. After a blisteringly-fast 6-month build, I ...
This week on the Muscle Machines newsletter, we’re featuring something a little different: a very kewl survivor “East Coast” custom in the John North “White Pearl” ’57 Ford for sale on Hemmings.com. ...

"Good things come to those who wait," or so they say at least. It piggy-backs on the sentiment of "patience is a virtue," and while both seem nonsensical when in the throes of restlessness, it does r...
We often find ourselves saying, around here, “We don’t live on vintage muscle, alone.” Sure, you can substitute any strain of car culture for “vintage muscle,” but the point is, as much as we love ou...
The Corvette. I’m gonna switch from the “royal we” that I usually use to convey the general opinion and position of Hemmings to the “lowly subject me” for a minute. Because I’m gonna use my own thoug...
When is too much, too much? When it comes to vintage drag racing 8mm filmstrips, we say, “NEVER.” It’s never too much. Sure, the weird soundtracks that are usually put to them when they’re transferre...
Better late than never, as they say. One of our favorite motorsports photographers, Peter Aylward, has made good on his promise to treat us to the imagery of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. For those...
I hadn't planned on attending Spa Classic this year. In fact, I nearly missed the event entirely. Luckily, a friend texted me, 'I'm going to Spa. You should come. There will be Group C.'. He said the...
The E30 M3 has been, since my enthusiasm for BMW began, one of the coolest offerings from the marque, period. While it's hard to ignore machines like the M1, the E9 CSL, or even my longtime favorite,...
WE’RE BACK! I know it’s been a way-too-long hiatus between chapters of the Stoner T, but that’s just par for the course with this car. Since the day I started collecting the pile of parts that ultima...
There are few better ways to start off the week. Mondays don't have to be all bad. We're excited to share Part II of Peter Aylward's photo series covering the 2018 Silverstone Classic. Be sure to che...
The generations that have gone before give us the tools we need to survive in the world. Sometimes those tools are very literal tools, and handed to us in an oil-stained box. Like these my dad just g...
An early catalog cover for San Francisco, California-based American Racing Equipment. One of the many benefits of the Hemmings West desk here in San Francisco, is the city’s somewhat obscure role in ...
Back in March, crowds gathered for the 76th annual Goodwood Members' Meeting, and with them was the talented Peter Aylward. Each year, Peter travels to the UK's best vintage motor racing events, givi...

Cars are a funny thing. They are the reason that you're here reading this article, they're probably the catalyst for a number of your friendships, they often motivate our actions and influence our de...
There's a group of guys over in Germany focused on the artistry of the air-cooled automobile, and with each photoset that they toss into my inbox, I'm more and more impressed by their vision and tast...
Discovered in a barn in 2003 as a nearly stripped chassis, this '58 Lister was what most might consider "total rubbish." Initially fitted with a Jaguar engine in 1961, it was blown up during testing ...
