Very sad. From the May 2017 issue:
"We had a good run, and now it's over. With this issue, number 141, Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car ceases publication.
Why? It's not for lack of readership. Since the day we launched HS&EC nearly 12 years ago, starting with a readership of zero, the magazine's circulation has done nothing but rise. We've grown to more than 55,000 enthusiastic subscribers, with a renewal rate that's the envy of the industry. For that, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The reason we have to do this, I'm told, is financial. Fear not--Hemmings Motor News, the company, is financially strong, and turns a healthy profit. But the business case for this magazine no longer makes sense."
I'm not in the magazine business but it sure seems like they were doing well and had plenty of advertisers. It's done so I suppose it doesn't matter.
