My "connection" to Car Craft is the memory of driving the thousand miles to Memphis for their inaugural Street Machine Nationals in 1972. My son now drives the mild-custom '64 Ranchero- with the "1972 Car Craft Street Machine Nationals" plaque on the dash. Although he wasn't born until January 1973, he was "along for the ride"!
Note: I don't know why, but later references to that event say it was in 1973. But the plaque in the Ranchero refutes that. P.S.- Does the Tempest front bumper make it okay to post on these forums? Omigosh... time sure slips away. In that photo I was 14 years younger than my son is now...

Keith, it looks like Zip, Zilch, and Nada. Looks like foreign cars will still be around.
I will miss Muscle Car Review. Last time I was a the local Barns/Knobles there were very few of them on the shelf.... like 4 and that was it. The lady had just set them up there. Tons of other crap tho.

I hope they do not all go the online only route.
It is just not the same in the bathroom. |

As was said earlier Hot Rod, Motor Trend and Four Wheeler will remain in print, the rest will be online only.

I am also surprised that Car Craft got axed;
The rebooted 'Muscle Car review' was little more than another Car Craft magazine anyway... I've only bought maybe two issues since the reboot. I too am Surprised that Road & Track, and Car & Driver keep chugging along; I bought a two(?) year subscription that has just elapsed; I even got ridiculous offers to renew (like less than postage); To me, Road & Track seems a bit snobbish (it definitely has more high end, and high end European vehicle coverage) for me to have even considered renewing it. I did briefly consider renewing Car and Driver, but there is so little being made now that I even care to read about, so I've passed. I hope Hemmings keeps going, I love HMM!

Right, but for how long? I wouldn't be surprised if we see the rest go the same route in less than 5 years. It hasn't been even that long, since the last time they went through a mass discontinuation.

Agreed. Although I'm more into the modified muscle, which they don't do much content. But I can appreciate it more than R&T or C&D.

While people on this board tend to be more interested in old cars, there are always going to be more people interested in new cars. As a result, C&D and R&T by design have a bigger audience.
