Hemmings Motor News Announces 2002 Collectible Calendar
Line
BENNINGTON, Vt., Aug. 9 Based on the success and
popularity of last year's expanded Hemmings Motor News line of calendars,
Hemmings is once again proud to offer fourteen different calendars for
collector-car and truck enthusiasts.
New for 2002 are "Vintage Mustangs" and "Vintage Trucks," which replace
the "Custom Cars" and "Vintage Commercial Trucks" calendar offerings of 2001.
The editorial staff pulled out all the stops and spared no expense with the
2002 calendars, packing each month with tons of fascinating automotive facts,
trivia questions, car show and event dates and plenty of other oddball and fun
occurrences from around the globe.
When it came time to select the images to display for each month's
featured vehicle, only the best professional photographers and most desirable
vehicles made the cut. The stunning selections, which include detailed
photography and descriptive captions, make each month's 12 x 12-inch image a
collectible piece of art that is suitable for framing.
