Would auto history be better if Automobile Quarterly hadn’t died?

Ask Mr. Moose

QUESTION: Automobile Quarterly arguably had a major impact on the field of auto history — particularly during the magazine’s prime. Would the quality of today’s popular history be higher if Automobile Quarterly were still alive and influential? The magazine ceased publishing in 2012 (Wikipedia, 2021).

ANSWER: Mr. Moose nods his head slowly up and down. This means, “Sadly, yes.” So there you have it — direct from The Moose.
