I still like Hemmings Muscle Machines...it's the only subscription that I currently have. The stores around here don't carry Chevy Rumble...and it's hit or miss on some of the other smaller publications...

So what im getting is I'm not alone in my feeling. Perhaps the traditional magazines are getting displaced by the electronic media (web)

How can any paper magazine compete with the depth of the internet, and the ability to interact so easily.

BTW. nice shot of the car.

Muscle Car Review. In my opinion it was much better a few years ago before they dropped out of sight for a while. But as far as muscle cars go, it is still the best. Super Chevy became too much like Street Rodder. Way too big and too much advertising. Nothing like the older titles from the 60's though.

Questions.
Why did Muscle Car Review 'drop out of sight' anyway?

Why is it that the mags were 'better' in the 60's. Lord knows I was not around then, but I have seen old Popular Hot Rodding issues, and they are straight badasssss. Not so for PHR now.

Muscle Car Review dropped out of sight when Peterson Publishing purchased Dobbs publishing. They kept it for a couple of months and then converted over to Hot Rod. Enough people complained and now it is a 'Seasonal' rag. If you are looking for a great musclecar magazine, pick up Musclecar Enthusiast magazine. Some of the great editors and writers of the old MCR at the helm.

As for what shows up in mailbox, Hemmings Muscle, Musclecar Enthusiast, Olds Club newsletter and, the H/O club newsletter.
