August Events
Porsche Pop-Up Becomes Permanent
“Gunther Talks Cars”
Saturday, August 19
11am
Some fresh walls, new artwork, a center turn table, and other tweaks – not the least of which is the coming addition of a 1987 Porsche 959 – are morphing what once was a Pop-Up Exhibit into the Newport Car Museum’s permanent Porsche Gallery. Stop by Saturday, August 19 at 11 a.m. when the popular “Gunther Talks Cars” series resumes. Founder Gunther Buerman will talk about the special Porsches, including every speedster developed to date, in the Museum’s private collection of over 95 cars.
