Audrain Newport Concours Announces Emory Outlaw Reunion

The Audrain Newport Concours Motor Week, a four-day celebration of automotive excellence, announces 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. 

The seminar will take place on Friday, Oct. 4, in the Casino Theater at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island. The Emorys will discuss what inspired their vehicles, the story of how they created these cars, how the modifications evolved over the years, and what makes the Outlaws so appealing to the discerning auto enthusiasts.

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, when Rod Emory and Emory Motorsports completed a meticulous, multi-year restoration of the Porsche.

A one-of-a-kind Porsche 356 Emory Special, specially designed for John Oates, 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.
