Audrain Cars and Coffee

4/12/26

We attend the Audrain Auto Museum Cars and Coffee opening show at Second Beach in Newport, RI. It was a great turnout, with many cool and unique cars. Here are our favorites from the event.

Above: A Pair of E30s

One completely stock, and another slightly less stock.

1978 Lincoln Versailles

An elegant car of its time. However, I can't say I find it that attractive.

Volkswagen Beetle

Punch buggy!

1982 Chevrolet C-20

A mullet machine.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette (C1)

Truly a beautiful car, and one of my picks for best in show. Notably, this is a fuel injected car!

Above: 1980s German Classics

Volkswagen Golf Mk. I and a Porsche 924. Too rad.

1971 Pontiac GTO

I've come around to the 1971 -72 GTOs. Their front fascia is a little awkward looking, but there's an appeal to it. I'm trying to figure out what that is.

Above: 1972 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce

What a stunner. Again, another pick for best in show. Can you blame me?

1960 Alfa Romeo Guilietta Sprint

Another beautiful Italian sports car.

1970 Nissan 240Z

The OG JDM classic. You can't say you like JDM cars without saying you like the 240Z.

1971 Ford Mustang Convertible

Hoss machine.

Above: Classic British Sports Cars

Austin Healey Sprite Mk. III, MGB Roadster, and an MGB GT.

1985 Buick LeSabre

This belongs to a friend of ONEC! We're glad to see this lovely Buick at Cars and Coffee.

Triumph TR-8

I've always liked the TR-8 for its distinct wedge look. It's so strange, but so late '70s.

Lotus Europa

Oh, the Europa. One of my favorite British sports cars ever. These, in my opinion, are some of the most attractive sports cars produced during the 1960s and early 70s.

1991 Nissan Pulsar

A JDM RHD import. This is so cool.

1993 BMW 325i Touring (E30)

Daytona Purple!

1978 Ford Pinto

That car in the back looks a little too close for comfort...

1978 Ford F-150

Truck perfection.

Fiat Panda Sisley

Now this was probably my pick for best car. It's a Panda! These are such funky and cute little cars, I've always loved their look. Seeing this made me want to get my hands on one.
