Make a date for the Newport Car Museum

A silver lining of dealing with Covid-19 and its associated restrictions on travel has been the Newport Car Museum’s laser-beam focus on creating a happy place that is as much its own destination as it is a must-see on the way to Newport, R.I.

Allowing plenty of room to social distance and exchanging inside air for outside air every 40 minutes, the Museum educates its visitors on the “art of the car” in ways no other automobile museum has attempted. 

Look for car shows, car club cruise-ins, new car model reveals and unveilings of the Museum’s new acquisitions in 2021!

Gift Shop is Open!

It’s also Hoods-Up Weekend!

Check out the engines on 75+ cars in six galleries
World Cars – Mopars – Corvettes – American Muscle  – Fin Cars  – Ford/Shelby

February’s Car of the Month!

The GTO was so popular that shortly after its release the rock group Ronnie & the Daytonas released its single “Little G.T.O.” It reached No. 4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and sold over one million copies. 

When the GTO became available in 1964 as an option on the Tempest LeMans, it caused a sensation; the affordable, good looking car featured incredible performance and distinctive differences in appearance and performance options over the standard LeMans.

John DeLorean was responsible for the GTO’s creation.
