Name: BMW M1 1980

From February 6 to 10, 2019, what is probably the finest classic car show in the world once again attracted classic car and youngtimer enthusiasts to Paris in droves. There was so much to see that one day was barely enough despite the manageable hall space. The man with the special eye, Daniel Reinhard, used humor to find special perspectives for visitors and those who stayed at home and discovered connections that were not immediately obvious to some, as this picture story proves.

In 2019, the Rétromobile in Paris once again met with great visitor interest.

It was extremely difficult and you needed an infinite amount of patience to get a car ...

... in all its beauty, free of people.

Even while taking photos, a lengthy discussion was started directly in front of the camera.

Herd instinct was written in capital letters ...

... they didn't just come in pairs, ...

no, partly in a pack and ...

... even a colorful mix.

This time there were not only more options for food and drink ...

... but also much larger areas. But eating was still often associated with long waiting times.

There were various cold deformations to marvel at, ...

... whether as a result of a nocturnal trap ...

... or just a little bent, ...

... or by careless onlookers ...

... or angrily trampled underfoot.

Of course, this Z1 is not a Renault, ...

... but this RS 17 is also ...

... far more LEGO than Renault.

In fact, so many racing cars came to Paris, ...

... that signage was necessary, ...

... so as not to be run over by another legend ...

... although the ride in this ambulance would certainly have been an unforgettable experience.

"Future Classic" is perhaps a little exaggerated for a Fiat that is already 50 years old, ...

... this electric pseudo-"Maserati" would probably be a much better example, ...

... although there were already great electric vehicles in 1941.

Some brands celebrated their 100th birthday in the city of love.

If you take a quick look at the ravages of time, ...

... so apart from a little unnecessary luxury, not much has really changed, or has it?

You might sit a little more comfortably today, ...

... but even then, people were already settling down on real leather.

In any case, the joy of the 100-year-old Bentley was many times greater, ...

... which was also clearly evident from the number of photos taken.

The next generation was also welcome, with guided tours under the name "Les Enfants de l`auto".

Special attention was paid to yellow vests and other disruptive factors, but the trade fair went quietly.

Who invented it?

The very first turbo attempt with just a simple propeller was not really successful, ...

... but then the Swiss invention not only came to Renault once, or twice at Porsche, ...

no, even as a quadruple version for the Bugatti Chiron.

Bugatti wheels were already a visual and technical sensation in the 1920s, ...

... even modern design and know-how can do little to counteract this.

Not all the stands were as clean and tidy as the BMW stand ...

Some stands still looked a little unfinished, ...

... and here the stand designer was probably color-blind.

Whether with skis ...

... or equipped with a crate of wine, ...

... in the end, the steering wheel remains the most important thing of all, ...

... because we will be happy to return to the French capital in 2020.
