Floating into Rhode Island proved an easy jaunt from Connecticut, taking back roads all the way. The gas gauge came back to life, but I kept a sharp eye on the odometer just in case.
Providence was my first stop, where I met with Peter C.T. Elsworth, the motoring editor of The Providence Journal.
Then I steamed down to Newport, where I tied up for the night at the Hyatt (great parking). There’s nothing quite like a Newport “cottage.” I wonder how many Broughams were here back in 1958?
