Veteran Car Tour 2026

Saturday, May 16 to Sunday, May 17th 2026

A Two-Day Veteran Motoring Experience

For 2026, the Veteran Car Tour expands into a full weekend format, welcoming collectors from across New England and the United States for an immersive celebration of automotive history. “This tour is quickly becoming one of the most meaningful brass-era gatherings in the country,” said Nic Waller, President of the Audrain Group. “To see these extraordinary veteran cars driving through Newport and Bristol is both a tribute to the earliest days of the automobile and a reminder of why Newport remains such a special home for motoring culture.”

Weekend highlights include:

• A short opening drive on the morning of May 16
• A special luncheon at the iconic Vanderbilt, Newport’s historic downtown mansion
• Two days of touring through Newport and Bristol, where history lives and comes to life
