30 not out!

In case you hadn’t noticed, this issue of Classic American – August 2018 is a very special one for us, as it marks 30 years in publication since that very first issue hit the shelves back in 1988. We thought we’d pull the stops out with some special features, including probably one of the nicest Continental Mark IIs in the country and an amazing road trip feature from our star snapper Jonny Fleetwood, who was recently voted Automotive Photographer of
the Year at the Newspress awards.

In the current publishing climate, it’s quite an achievement to have made it this far – I’d be lying if I said we haven’t faced challenges over the past couple of decades, but as with any successful species, it’s been essential that we evolve and adapt to the new climate/environment in order to survive. While our website and Facebook pages will never take over from the magazine, they’re an integral part of what Classic American is
now and offer platforms for material we can’t fit in the actual magazine itself.

We look forward to hearing your reminiscences and memories about Classic American, your cars and fun times over the last three decades. Why not write in or email about them – you could win a £100 insurance voucher! Here’s er! Here s to the next 30 years…
