duPont REGISTRY 40th Anniversary - Cover Cars: 2017

After 40 years, duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars capture moments in automotive history.

This year, duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In that time, some of the world’s most desirable, iconic, and influential luxury and exotic cars have graced the cover of our magazine over the past 40 years, and together, the cover cars of duPont REGISTRY’s hundreds of monthly issues tell a story of automotive history and its evolution since the ‘80s.

Looking back at duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars from the year 2017, some serious nostalgia is stirred up for any automotive enthusiast, and each year, a cover car shows an iconic moment of the recent past, when a car we see as a modern or future classic today was the hottest new creation on the market. Take a trip down memory lane and look at our 2017 magazine covers below, and continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary by buying a copy of our special 40th anniversary edition magazine.
