The first new print available in 2026! Shot on Kodak ProImage100 Film with my trusty old Konica Autoreflex TC
The Limited 2025 Prints are gone! If you missed out, I have other news for you. I will be taking some of the prints that are currently available out of circulation at the end of January. I’ll be releasing prints over time in 2026, but they will rotate out quarterly, so they will be time-limited. There will also be some more limited prints available throughout the year, so stay tuned! For now, enjoy an automatic 20% discount on ALL prints available on the website until the end of January. You’re welcome!

I wrote an article on the seemingly forgotten GM Senior Compacts of the early ‘60’s. Take a ride over to the “Read” section of the website to learn about how this upscale compact platform was a leader in automotive innovation as well as how it’s just a few moves away from a really cool little early 60’s style daily driver mild custom!

This survivor ‘36 Ford holds one of the first small block Chevy engine swaps dating back to the mid ‘50’s! Watch the video for the story as told by the current owner and caretaker, Jeff Knudsen.
The Hard Wear Store

The Hard Wear Store is your stop for HLMCo. branded apparel and accessories. I’ll be pairing down the current offerings after January. I am going to release some new designs based on ideas, not the HLMCo. Logo, so keep your eyes peeled for those. Until then, if you’ve thought about some merch, don’t wait! What you’re after might be gone when the month is over.

WATCH HARD LUCK MEDIA CO.
The YouTube channel is a place where I let my creativity flow. I make videos featuring local cars, some of the hottest local shows, and document my own traditionally inspired car projects. Check it out below!
The ‘64 and Before Show is a new Podcast where I interview young guns in the traditional hot rod and custom scene. | I love shooting car shows in a unique way. Check out this playlist of videos from the last couple years. | I’ve done a few videos featuring special cars local to West Michigan. Check out this playlist! |
Until next time,
Jon
