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.
