1948 Norman Timbs Special is a Motor Trend Classic – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nWe were just talking with a friend about his Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI<\/a>. “How on earth did you afford that<\/em>?” is the highly sanitized version of the question we posed to him. Answer: He bought used, and then explained to us that he would never buy a new car again, no matter what. A decision that’s fine by us, but which buff book is our pal going to read if he’s unwilling to ever walk into a new car dealership again?<\/p>\n

Meet – or re<\/em>-meet as the case may be – Motor Trend Classic<\/em>. The fine folks at Motor Trend<\/em><\/a> tried their hand at this classic car thing a few years back in 2005 but were forced to shutter the magazine in 2006<\/a>. But that was then (and they were trying to sell 12 issues a year.<\/strike> Correction:<\/strong> Motor Trend Classic launched with two issues in 2005 and then went to six issues for 2006). Motor Trend Classic<\/em> every three months is now<\/em>. The cost to entry is a good bit higher than your standard car mag (roughly three times). However, the new magazine is (thankfully) largely free of advertising and it features a unique format and higher quality paper. Hence the high price: $14.95 per issue. <\/p>\n

Also of note, Motor Trend<\/em> will be using this weekend’s Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance<\/a> to relaunch the Classic<\/em> magazine. In fact, Amelia Island will feature a special “Motor Trend Class” devoted to cars found on the cover of Motor Trend<\/em>, including the gorgeous streamlined Norman Timbs Special seen above that graced the cover of the October 1948 issue. Pretty nifty, no? Make the jump<\/a> for the press release and a complete list of the Motor Trend Class cars.<\/p>\n
