Thanks for sharing.

 

Great pictures Lainey. I searched on google for any mention of the old Newport Car Museum I visited in 1977. I could find nothing. But perhaps it was the precursor to what is now called the Audrain Auto Museum in Newport.

Thanks Bill. We've been to Audrain too. The Newport one has a hoods up event next week. Cool idea

 

I like the old and new Acura NSXs side by side. I would love to compare them in person.

 

This is the museum car meet I am going to on Sunday. Its just 1-1/4 hours away. Tomorrow is an event called Mad Dogs & Englishmen. An all British car show that they have every year. It includes a 1967 fashion show for anyone who wants to dress up as a hippy. Wonder what they would say if I lite up a big Dobbie (sp?)? I never did back in the day, so I don't think I'll start now. It is an awesome museum - too big to see it all unless you want to spend an entire day just looking.

So how was the day, Dave??

 

Great weather and turnout. Met up and shot the $hit with at least 40 car buddies. A few took top honors in the voting but I personally never vote at these things. I did not have a camera with me but a Jensen 541R similar to this was one of the more unusual cars. The flat face where the grill would be is manually opened to create a big mouth. The engine was a flat 6 Austin. Owner said there was only 173 built.




A buddy brought a racing Turner that he just bought along with a 1948 Triumph Standard that was cute that he also just bought. He has 45 running British cars and another 20 in restoration!! One is enough for me.

 

Sounds like a good day in car world!
