Retromobile Exhibition – Wednesday February 3rd to Sunday February 7th, 2016
Parc des expositions de la Porte de Versailles (1 place de la Porte de Versailles 75015 Paris)

Paris in February?  Why not. Glorious exhibits of over 500 vintage cars from all makes will keep one’s mind off winter weather. Car restorers, automotive art, automobile vendors, car clubs, car makers, anyone and everyone involved in the vintage car hobby will be there, sniffing around to see what’s been under wraps. The Artcurial Motorcars Auction promises to be riveting as more important Ferraris and other spectacular car treasures are brought to market.

March will bring in Amelia Island Concours d’ Elegance and the races at Sebring. Other than Paris in February, one could easily have their winter calendar filled with warm weather car enthusiast events. Who’s game?

Happy New Year everyone, may 2016 be filled with four-wheeled excitement!
