![]() ![]() Major manufacturers come to celebrate their heritage with special stands highlighting their ancient car lines. “You can find any part, any manual, any accessory, there are cars to sell, cars to buy, and great club resources here.” “This show is remarkable because it is truly heaven for anybody who loves Italian cars,” said author, star of “Jay Leno’s Garage” and current CEO of the Audrain Collection Donald Osborne. Ha! Peanuts compared to Auto e Moto d’Epoca! ![]() For comparison’s sake, there’s a show in Los Angeles next week called the Best of France and Italy, held November 6 at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, California, that was my previous favorite show in the world. The show features 1600 exhibitors and 5000 cars and motorcycles. Until, now, it’s so big that it’s moving to Bologna next year, where there is not only more space but where it will be right in the heart of Italian supercar central. It’s been held in the 1.2 million square feet (28 acres!) of the Padua, Italy, exposition center since 1983, when it started as a sort of swap meet of cars and parts. The annual marketplace of cool cars, car parts, and car books is simply massive. I finally broke down and made the pilgrimage last week, and I can tell you as a Lancia Appia owner that it was overwhelming. If you like Italian cars from the 1950s, ‘60s-and ‘70s, and if you’re reading this chances are you do-you absolutely have to get to Italy at least once in your life to see Auto e Moto d’Epoca (Vintage Cars and Motorcycles). ![]()
