Hemmings Find of the Day - 1948 Brill intercity bus

Hemmings Find of the Day - 1948 Brill intercity bus
Posted by Daniel Strohl - Former theater troupe's 1948 Brill intercity bus for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description: This 1948 Brill bus is a snapshot from the past.

There are a number of Brill trollies and city buses around but, the Brill highway buses are pretty rare. They were sell...Read More

The Class of 25, Part Two

The Class of 25, Part Two
Posted by David Conwill - Concept sketch by Clayton Paddison. Well, it happened. My inner contrarian lost out to practicality. If you can call it practicality to own a near-century-old car with the intention of driving it on public roads (note: This is Hemmings, yes you can). I've decided my next car will be a 1925 Ford Model T - I've even toyed with selling my '62 Falcon to make it happen sooner, though my wife is opposed to that. As you'll recall from Part One, my good friend Clayton Paddison is one of the biggest Model T advocates...Read More
