Grand Touring Cars Through the Decades

October 28, 2017 – February 19, 2018

Grand Touring Cars Through the Decades offered an overview of 2-seated automobiles suitable for a Sunday drive along the coast or through the countryside. Capable of high speeds and comfortable long-distance driving, touring cars have evolved into an elegant combination of luxury and comfort, giving drivers the option to casually enjoy their surroundings or push the limits of speed.

GT cars are often defined by their ability to stir excitement on the open road. While known for their comfort and performance, they have also found a home in racing.   Races like the Mille Miglia and 24 Hours of Le Mans cater to enthusiasts and professionals alike, continuing the endurance racing tradition.

From the 1923 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Piccadilly Roadster to the 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe, from the humbler 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 to the definitive 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition -- these automobiles have had a gratifying effect on the evolution of grand touring cars.

Whether you prefer a peaceful Sunday cruise down Ocean Drive, a challenging run on twisty mountain roads, or a cross country trip, there was something for every type of driving enthusiast in this collection.
