Hemmings basically invented the collector car category. Way back in 1954, Ernest Hemmings thought that a collection of old cars and parts for sale would be a good idea. At the time, not many people thought of old cars as something worth “collecting,” so what better way to connect the few who did, then with a little catalog that could be sent through the mail? BOOM: Hemmings Motor News. Ever since, people have been trying to make a better mousetrap, but Hemmings is still the last word on all things collector cars.

So, here we are: Hemmings Auctions. The most respected name in the business is the best place to buy and sell collector cars and parts. Think of us as your cool cousin who always had the record before it hit the radio: we got the good stuff. And now we can always hang out together, at all hours. Good times!
