First woman to lead major car magazine Jean Jennings dies at 70
JACKSON COUNTY, MI – At first glance, Jean Jennings might not have looked like someone who knew the ins and outs of cars, racing and the automobile industry. Yet she did and then some.
Her sharp wit, passion and enthusiasm for all things automotive led to a long career in journalism where she blazed a path for woman in the industry, earning high-ranking roles in publications and being inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.
Jean Jennings, 70, of Parma, died Dec. 16 in Jackson after long struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
“It’s hard to tell how long she had the disease. I’ve been told the smart ones hide it better,” her husband of 27 years Tim Jennings said. “She was really a character.”
Jennings said he met his then-future wife an “OJ Simpson party” in 1997, two years after the end of the infamous NFL player and actor’s trial that captivated the world.
“It was a wild time. There was a dancing Judge Ito and everything,” he said.
She had a flair for the theatrics. It was not unusual to see her at the racetrack wearing a custom French chapeau with shoulder-length feathers or at a global media event in a brightly colored felt hat that would be at home in the land of Dr. Seuss, he said.

When I decided to start recognizing the badass women in the automotive industry, there was no question that I had to start with Jean Jennings. That’s not only because she shares a name with a porn star. Or because a post could mean that if one would enter the words “badass” & “automotive” into Google, the results may show “Jean Jennings” and “Motorhead Mama.” But because she is the OG Badass Woman Of Automotive.
Who’s Jean Jennings anyway? To me, she’s that fearless woman who runs around car shows in a hat and knows everyone. She’s also the first female writer I read in Car and Driver. The one that made me think ‘Cool, girls can write about cars.’ More recently, Jean introduced herself to me by saying “Hey Motorhead Mama, you’re funny”..a moment I’ll never forget. After starting her career as a Chrysler welder, mechanic and test driver, Jean got into automotive journalism at a time where men unquestionably owned the game. She also started a little rag called Automobile Magazine where she was editor-in-chief. Maybe you’ve seen here on Good Morning America. Maybe you’ve read Jean Knows Cars …must I go on?
