ToadHall Cars - in Hyannis, Cape Cod

A great private collection of over 50 Classic Sports Cars, mostly English with some Japanese and European ones thrown in. There are a dozen Lotuses, half a dozen MGs, Triumphs and Jaguars, and a bunch of Austin Healeys, TVRs, Datsuns, and Ferrari, Mazda, Morgan, AC, Daimler, Sunbeam, Mini Cooper, and more. Mostly old, some new.

And, of Course, they are all red.


Toad Hall kinda started out with a few sports cars housed in a shed behind the Simmons Homestead Inn in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod. Over the past dozen years the number of sheds and cars grew and grew. Finally when there were some three dozen cars, the sheds all got tied together and enclosed. Now there are more than 50 inside and another bunch outside that at least can get driven around. Most are classics from the 50s to the 80s. Most are British Sports Cars, all are red. There are several cars of which less than a dozen are in the States, but the rest simply will bring back happy memories to the older folks. The cars are all nicely restored, and they are all handsome drivers, that is if you can get them out of a now rather crowded garage. The Toad Hall Collection is part of the Simmons Homestead Inn, and everyone who has visited it has had a really great experience. It's now one of the largest private collections of Classic Sports Cars around.


If you remember back in your childhood, or maybe more recently, you probably read the book or saw the Walt Disney movie THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS by Kenneth Grahame, written back in 1908. About a bunch of animal characters in England in the late 1800s. The leading guy was Toad, Lord of Toad Hall. He was totally fascinated by the then new motorcar. And, all of Toad's cars were red too. This same fascination is carried forward today at the Toad Hall Classic Sports Car Collection at the Simmons Homestead Inn.

This collection of Classic Sports Cars, like Triumph or MG is the private collection of Bill Putman, Innkeeper of Sorts at the Simmons Homestead Inn. Being a part of the Inn, it's open daily from 11 A.M. till 5 P.M. year round. There are also videos going about Vintage Race Cars and Vintage Races. Then there is an added benefit if you are staying as a guest at the Simmons Homestead Inn. You can get in most anytime you want. Bring a camera if you want. This is a place to enjoy. Toad kinda started this car nut thing, and Bill is just carrying it on today in his honor.


The cars all run if you can get them out of the garage. Place has gotten a bit crowded over the years as it grew out of control. Oh well. You can get a preview by going up to the top and clicking on the various marques.

You can also go to the directions page and find out how to get here. Toad Hall and the Simmons Homestead Inn are in Hyannis Port, just outside of Hyannis smack in the middle of Cape Cod.
