The Annual Rides on Monmouth is always a highlight of car show season for me. The city of Newport, once known as the original sin city for its open casinos that inspired the development of Las Vegas, its corrupt politics and open dealings with organized crime that then became a hotbed for strip clubs and prostitution, is now a quaint little river town that is thriving with tourists and small shops and restaurants.
In the heart of this city is the main street, Monmouth Ave.
Each year the city shuts down it's main street for six blocks and lines it with some of the best classic and collectible cars in the region. There are going to be a lot more posts coming about the Rides on Monmouth show but here are just a few things to whet your appetite.
