The Bremen Classic Motorshow once again kicked off the classic car season in German-speaking countries on the first weekend of February. And as every year, the show had a special motto: "The 70s: simply wedge-shaped!" What was meant, of course, were the wedge-shaped cars of the late sixties and early seventies, which could be admired in large numbers.
