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.
The 840 hp 2018 Dodge Demon is a purpose-built drag racing car that can be driven on the street. It comes standard with only the driver’s seat; optional for $1 each are the passenger back seat, radio, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated seats, carpeted trunk, sunroof and satin black paint on the hood. The objective in making these items optional is to obtain lightness. The ability to delete the standard equipment sheet translates into the Demon’s 200-plus pounds of savings over the 2018 707 hp Dodge Hellcat.
