February 11, 2019 By Jennifer Brindisi

Join The Second Half for a guided tour of the Tour of the Newport Car Museum

Immerse yourself in the wonder, history, design and beauty of the Big Three American auto
manufacturers and leading European companies such as Jaguar, Porsche, Mercedes Benz
and BMW as well as the eclectic Mid-Century furnishings that echo the personality of these eras, 1950’s to present day.                                                                                                    There is no greater manifestation of man’s extraordinary design creativity and mechanical
ingenuity than the modern automobile. This museum celebrates some of that wonderful
kinetic art, and the men, and women, who were instrumental in its creation. They reflect a
time when artists who likely would have been the great sculptors in the Renaissance Age
became stylists, designers and industrial engineers
