Naples Florida – For three weeks only, and just in time for Father’s Day, Revs Institute is doing something quite special. It is opening – or completely removing – the hoods of 35 historical, exceptional automobiles to reveal the engines that power them. The Hoods Up exhibition features cars from Miles Collier Collections.

The popular and much-loved annual Hoods Up exhibition returns to Revs Institute from June 18 – July 9, 2022.

This is a rare opportunity for guests to see the masterful engineering of historic automobiles firsthand. Some of the engines that will be on display have not been viewed by the public in decades.

New for 2022, Revs Institute’s followers on Instagram and Facebook will be able to vote for a People’s Choice car to be included in the exhibition; a photo scavenger hunt will challenge guests to search for obscure features among the Hoods Up cars, and a photo contest will showcase artistic snapshots of visitors’ favorite cars.
