A photo story by Daniel Reinhard, published on February 10, 2020

Vom 5. bis 9. Februar 2020 öffnete die 45. Rétromobile in Paris an der Porte de Versailles ihre Tore, um über 120’000 Besucher zu empfangen und ihnen die aufsehenerregendesten Klassiker aller Zeiten zu zeigen.

Diese Bildergeschichte mit drei Dutzend besonderen und beschrifteten Fotos führt auf humorvolle Weise durch die Messe und zeigt auch einmal jene Dinge, die nicht jedem auffallen.
