As we all know, print publications of any form are headed the way of the Pony Express. I'm not a huge fan of the resto-mod stuff either, but it definitely has a following (just watch any of the car auctions featured on TV) so HMM and whoever else may be left are trying to appeal to that crowd too.

Bill, I have had requests to include 60-70's trucks and resto mods section. I don't want to take away from our core. To do that I was thinking about having a separate pages for them. If you were interested in Trucks select that page or resto mods select that page. Thoughts???

I think that's an excellent idea, pick & choose what you like. I can guarantee you if that comes to pass, I will be looking at those pages as well.....may not peruse them quite as closely as the original stuff, but will be looking just the same. Thanks so much for running with this idea, Steve

Thanks everyone for chiming in. To be honest, It's as much about my 73 year old father as it is about me. He's never been on a computer and at this point probably never will. I'm on here and few other forums daily and can see some of the great stories and unbelievable cars still being discovered, but trying to relay the message isn't quite the same as reading it and see photos.

That reminds me of the late 80's BLACKLS5. There were about a dozen muscle car magazines going back then and Super Chevy was really good too. Every day seemed like Christmas when the mailman came and my Dad and I would sit around the living room for hours reading my car magazines. No wonder I did so bad in school...

I really miss the publications and going to the book store once a month and loading up. I've been reading car magazines since I was in my teens. I still have over 20,000 in my personal collection and I read them all. I get on this great site at least once every evening. Keep the great stories and pics coming.

I remember heading to Barnes and Nobles every month just to make sure I got a Hemmings the first day available.

I know isn't a car mag, but still car related.

I gave away as many of my old mags as I could and took the rest to the recycler. I saved a few with special articles. "How to Z/28 your 283 Chevy" that I bought in 1969. Can't remember if it was Popular Hot Rodding or Car Craft. I still have it.
