I received mine yesterday. To me this has the most comprehensive and accurate coverage of the muscle car market. In just a few short years it has risen to the top and continues to grow and add new features. Most of the muscle car mags include rehashed materials or subjects/information that is off topic to the muscle car enthusiast. Kudos to Hemmings Muscle Machines https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: + Fred Gibb's .Mar. 2008 in HMC+

I like it too...and not just because they put my car on the cover. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Having been on the editorial staff of a musclecar magazine or two in the old days, it is really nice to see a magazine that doesn't skimp on content and paper quality just to save a buck. Hemmings Muscle Machines is #1 in my book.

Location Question

I'm curious about two statements made in this article.
..."Gibb opened his dealership in 1948 in the rural town of LaHarpe,Il. about 250 miles southwest of Chicago."

Later it goes on to say..

..."Fred built a new dealership in the early 1960's and pretty much paid the dealership off through their racing activities."

Did Fred move to a brand new location when he built his new dealership in the early 1960's,or did he just rebuild on the same property he had bought previously in 1948?
If the former,where was that location compared to the later?

Re: Location Question

Fred built a new building on the edge of town. His org. building was and is in the middle of town. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

I'll pick up one at a Barnes & Noble or Borders. First time Hemmings has failed me, (unless someone in the faultless USPS is 'Holding" it for me!) Had to be THIS issue! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

Just checked the exp date on my Feb issue: 06/01/09 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Crumbly,
I just resubscribed to HMN and of course they sent me last months issue. One way for them to clear out old inventory and still count towards their 12 issue. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif Since I already have a copy, let me know and I will send you this one if you haven't already received yours.

Re: + Fred Gibb's .Mar. 2008 in HMC+

Finally got tired of waiting and picked up a copy at B&N last night. (My copy should arrive now!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: + Fred Gibb's .Mar. 2008 in HMC+

Nah, we borrowed the neighbors mule, hooked him up to the wagon and went to Springfield. He's tired now. Looks like we're stuck here for a while. But at least I got something to read. (OK, so I'll just look at all the pretty pictures.) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: + Fred Gibb's .Mar. 2008 in HMC+

You mean to tell me you did not make it over to Don's.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Better get over there before he covers that frame up with a freshly restored body. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: + Fred Gibb's .Mar. 2008 in HMC+
