    Have any of you seen this magazine? It is the most excellent magazine that I've ever seen. I've been getting it for 3 months now. There has been coverage of automobiles from 1908 thru the 1980's so far in three months. Oldsmobile was the featured mark in March. Very nice coverage. There was a short piece on the Vista Cruiser.

    It's been in existance now for 32 months. I hope I haven't missed a station wagon issue. They seem to either pick a mark or a particular body style to feature. The April issue seemed to revolve around collector cars under $10,000. I got it at the start of a guy restoring a 55 Buick Skylark Convertable that the sheet metal, including the floors, was rusted away from the bottom up 6 full inches. He's never done a restoration before. Very detailed with photos. One more installation on this subject.

    It's a great magazine for those of us keeping older wagons. It's a cover to cover read. There's no uninteresting articles at all. I highly recommend it. I think I paid $34.99 for 12 issues and it's a bargain. I'm sure it's more for you Canadian folks.

    have been going through all my Hemmings, for I was sure I had a monthly magazine laying around with a special about stationwagons, but couldn't find it... just found out it wasn't Hemmings, but a very hard to read magazine called "Chroom en Vlammen" (Chrome and Flames), due to a very bad translation from German language into Dutch: for example: the german word "combi" ("stationwagon") on the cover is a word we don't use ; in dutch it is same as in english: stationwagon )

    yes, i love it. always a good article. even reading about Chevy cavaliers in a recent one. Following restorations, reading about unthought of cars.
