The Northeast Classic Car Museum located at 24 Rexford St., Norwich, is opening a new exhibit Saturday, May 21. Road Rivals: Police Cars vs. Muscle Cars & Motorcycles, is sponsored by NYCM Insurance. This new exhibit will be on display through April 2017. The museum is open year-round but changes out part of the exhibit every May in celebration of the first opening on Memorial Day weekend 1997.
“This year’s Road Rivals exhibit displays vintage police cars with muscle cars and motorcycles, even a police bike,” said Museum Board of Trustees President Randy Gibbon. “We have a four-passenger Emblem motorcycle that a family drove coast-to-coast in 1914. This exhibit has something for everyone.”
“The new Road Rivals exhibit features police cars from all over the United States along with iconic muscle cars and motorcycles,” said Robert M. Jeffrey Executive Director Northeast Classic Car Museum. “In addition to the new exhibit, we also have many new cars throughout the museum in pre-war and post-war exhibits. Plenty of new cars to see, even if you were here last year.”
