Definitely worth a trip. They have something like 45-50 cars, with something of interest to everyone. European sports cars from the 1950s to the present, muscle cars, and a variety of 1950's cars like a 57 Tbird, 59 Caddy, etc. They have videos about Carol Shelby playing in the background near the Cobras and Shelby Mustangs. They also have a room with several driving simulators.

Checked it out yesterday. One couple owns the entire collection and the building. Now that's discretionary income!!! About 70 cars in total. Mostly American made, some great muscle cars, big Vette and Mustang collections, some great "fin" cars from the 50's, about 10 -15 "world cars". Definitely worth a trip. Here are some pics.

Wow, I live in RI and I've heard about this place but haven't been. I'm going to go check it out. Thanks for adding some pictures, it looks pretty awesome.
