Mustang Day at Newport Car Museum

Newport Car Museum, located in Portsmouth, R.I., will host a Mustang Day on Saturday, September 13, and has invited all Mustang clubs in New England to attend. Among the clubs signed up are the Cape Cod Mustang Club, Mustangs of Massachusetts, and the Mustang Car Club of New England, all of which foster – through shows, cruises and other gatherings – the “preservation of the breed” and camaraderie among people who love Mustangs and have fun driving them.

On Mustang Day, a section of the Newport Car Museum’s 350-space parking lot (where parking is always free) will be reserved specifically for some Mustang mingling. Groups of 20 or more will receive discounted admission ($17) to the Museum where a can’t-miss collection of Mustangs awaits inspection in the Ford Shelby gallery, one of seven galleries that house the Museum’s private collection of over 100 classic, rare, and exotic automobiles from the 1950s through to current times.

The Museum will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; most Mustangs are expected to visit between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. To steal a line from the Cape Cod Mustang Club’s playbook: “No matter what year Pony you drive, you are welcome!”
