Default Re: Newport RI Cars & Coffee Schedule 2019

Thank you for the very informative posts on both the Newport C&C, as well as the Newport Car Museum. My 29 year old son-in-law is moving to Newport, RI this week cross-country from CA, and I've already passed on the C&C schedule to him, and will also inform him about the museum. If I can get off work, I'll be with him a few of those days helping out with the move.

He is a very knowledgeable auto enthusiast and is the guilty one who got me into the C-4 ZR-1. One morning about 4 years ago he said to me, "There's a C-4 ZR-1 at the local Chevy dealer. Wanna go test drive it?" I said, "Well, I'm not in the market for one, but I'll go with you." That was a mistake... or good fortune... however a person looks at it. It wasn't "the one," but soon thereafter led to the purchase of the '94.

Anyway, I hope you get a chance to meet him at one of these events. He drives a nicely kept black '83 911 with ITB mods from https://rasantproducts.com/, has met Magnus Walker, exchanged emails and was invited to visit his place twice, bringing along a few friends. Yet he loves our ZR-1s too, or just about anything speedy on 4 wheels.

Thanks again,
"G"

I hit the gate there at about 7:45 AM last weekend, there was still lots of room on the grass. Filled up fast though.

Registered for this weekend too.

It was a real pleasure to meet you, Mystic ZR-1, at the Newport C&C this morning, as well as your friends. My son-in-law also enjoyed chatting with all, and, of course seeing the marvelous ZR-1s you and Big John brought. Gorgeous venue, if not the best we’ve been at!

The Corvette gallery runs from 1954 through 2019 featuring 3 ZR1s, 1990, 2009 and 2019 as well as at least one of every generation. This is truly a world class car museum. We are situated on over 17 acres with a 3+ acre parking lot. We host many car clubs events throughout the season including many Corvette clubs from all over the North East. I have attached a link to our website.
I am also the owner of a 1990 ZR-1 Red/Red 17,000 miles and a 1969 Coupe since 1972.

Was finally able to get to the Newport Car Museum yesterday. What a Top Notch museum! The aura of the place - the pristine cars, The lighting, the music, the movies in play at various spots - one could hang out all day there. The stuff of both memories and dreams.

It was a pleasure to also meet vinlt5. We swapped stories and had some good laughs. Thank you for taking the time and showing me around, with a sneak peak at a few hyper cars to be put on display soon. Such an outstanding venue you and your team has put together!
