John Biel is editor-in-chief of Collectible Automobile (CA) magazine, a high end, glossy bi-monthly publication, focused on an eclectic mix of collector cars – mostly, but not exclusively American, and mostly, but not exclusively 1930s to 1970s.
CA is one of a very few magazines today that exists without advertising, while providing high-quality content. Steve Purdy and John Biel talk about what it takes to put out a magazine like this, some of the premier writers whose work is seen in the magazine, and the magazine’s editorial philosophy.
