The private collection of 100+ automobiles at the Newport Car Museum focuses on eight decades of modern industrial automotive design and celebrates cars as works of art. From the 1950s to the present, separate galleries for Ford/Shelby Cars, Corvettes, World Cars, Porsches, Fin Cars, Muscle Cars and Mopars have been carefully curated to appeal to men as well as women and to all generations, from grandparents to parents to children.
The Porsche Exhibit, once a Pop-Up, is now permanent with many additions adjacent to the Fin Car Gallery.
Highlighted here are stellar examples of Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, BMW, McLaren, Lamborghini and Porsche.
Classic iconic 1960s cars include the Camaro, GTO, Mustang, Challenger and the Hemi Cuda.
The 1950s bloomed into color and jet-like styling with the Buick Skylark, Cadillac Series Sixty-Two, T-Bird and the DeSoto Adventurer Convertible.
There has never been a more hard-fought race series than the Trans Am races of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, featuring history’s greatest racing legends such as Donohue, Posey, Follmer, Jones, and Titus. It pitted the pony cars of the day – Mustangs, Camaros, Trans Ams, Javelins and more – in fender-to-fender racing. With strict displacement and weight rules, the cars were evenly matched.
