Agreed Nate; I'm a valuation junkie too.

I don't know, I'll give it a shot. Hemmings was good to me. They come to the PVGP every year and do a nice write up, they did my car in issue #100, and so forth. I'll give it a chance and at least let the balance of my subscription run.

I agree Ed. But, I cancelled mine today. No use for an American Muscle Mag..

Agreed. My favorite mag that I routinely read cover to cover. Learned a lot about brit cars and loved the auction summary section.

After 30 years in the family, I sold my faithful Supra a few weeks ago... it'll be missed, but it was time to pass it on. This pic is a couple of hours before the new owner picked it up. Yes, that's a slightly somber expression on my face.

If you read the letter a little closer. They mention American cars from brass era to the 60's. I hope it ends at 1960. No more muscle please. I think those of us that didn't collect a bunch of 60's muscle 20 years ago when it was selling for scrap are wishing we had.

Yes, I did catch that. That era is even worse! I don't want to read about Model T's and 57 Chebbys. That mag subject is not even close to Sports and Exotic.

Separate letter in a plastic wrapping with the mag. (First time plastic wrapping that I can recall with that mag)

Yes, WD losing Edd is also sad news.
