NEWPORT, R.I., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Audrain
Newport Concours Motor Week, a four-day celebration of automotive
excellence, luxury, and sport, is thrilled to announce the 'Outlaw
Reunion' and seminar with renowned car builders Rod Emory and Gary
Emory and famous entertainer and proud Emory 'Outlaw' owner
John Oates (of Hall & Oates
fame). The Seminar will take place on Friday, October 4th, at 12:20 pm in the Casino Theater at
the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Rod and Gary will discuss what inspired these incredible
vehicles, the unbelievable story of how they created these unique
and jaw-dropping cars, how the modifications evolved over the
years, and what makes the 'Outlaws' so appealing to the discerning
auto enthusiasts such as John.
Several historically significant Emory creations and
restorations will be on display. One of the most significant cars
to be featured is the 1951 Porsche 356SL 356/02-063 which marked
the automaker's debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This iconic
vehicle not only secured first place in its class but also achieved
an impressive 20th overall finish. Fast forward to 2016, a
significant milestone was reached when Rod
Emory and Emory Motorsports
when they completed a meticulous, multi-year restoration of the
legendary Porsche.
The first Emory Special will also be on display at the 'Outlaw
Reunion.' It was meticulously restored and modified in 1998 by Rod
and his team at Emory Motorsport. The restoration project
meticulously preserved the heritage and essence of the original car
while incorporating modern enhancements for a tailor-made driving
experience.
A one-of-a-kind Porsche 356 Emory Special, specially designed
and crafted for John Oates (of Hall
& Oates fame), will also be featured. This collaboration
between Oates and Emory is tailored to the musician's preferences
and style. Being an automotive enthusiast, John Oates took the opportunity to create his
ultimate dream car to celebrate his 70th birthday.
