All roads lead to Paris?

The last few years have been challenging and the 'new' normal is something we all have to get used to. Next week there will at last be a big car show: Salon Rétromobile. For us it will be the first one since the start of the pandemic and also the first since all the travel restrictions were lifted. We wonder what it will be like. Will all the Brits, Germans, Americans, Argentines, Australians and Africans make the trip again and find their way to Paris? And how will the war in Ukraine affect this? Will all roads lead to Paris or will there be fewer people than before?

Let us know if you are coming or not this year.

 

Salon Rétromobile 2022

 

The Rétromobile show will be held at Expo Porte de Versailles in Paris from 16 to 20 March 2022. The PreWarCar.com & PostWarClassic.com team will be there (Stand L095 in Hall 7.3) as will the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport shown in the photo above.

Non, non, Monsieur Weber

The photograph was taken in Germany because the road sign in the picture is distinctly of German design. French road signs look very different to those in Germany.

And the sign means that Bundesstraße 3 (B3) leads to Freiburg 71km away, and that Bundesstraße 28 (B28) leads to the Salon Rétromobile thanks to the Editor's retouching skills !

Btw, I first thought the car was a Saab 92 of around 1949, especially with the Swedish registration. From the rear, the Alfa Romeo pictured looks almost the same as the Saab.

Hi there
The picture must have been taken smack west of Offenburg, on the French side of the Rhein river.
And within 28 km, there was the Salon Rétromobile. There is no major town within that radius except for Strasbourg.
But Strasbourg is west of the Rhein river and the road sign points east!
Either the Salon Rétromobile was somewhere out in the countryside or the picture is fake news!
Cheers, Giuse
