There was a car on the stage in the PS Hall, nothing unusual so far. The unusual thing was that this car had never actually existed, because it shouldn't have. This car was the most important and most elaborate prop in a television series of the 1970s: "PS-Geschichten", first broadcast on May 18, 1975 at 9:05 pm on ARD.

It was about a family fulfilling their dream of buying a new car, which in turn fails to meet the family's expectations because they are ripped off when they buy it, and because the car then has to go to the garage all the time. Of course, the production company couldn't use just any existing car - it would have been sued to the ground. So they had one built: the Amalfi 1800 CS from Atlantis-Werke.
The second attempt
After the series, the Amalfi passed through many hands and was eventually scrapped. But Ronald Genssler, an engineer from Mönchengladbach and a fan of "PS stories" since childhood, couldn't let it go; after intensive research, he simply built the Atlantis Amalfi 1800 CS again.

The basis is a Fiat 132 from the first series, whose body has been revised. The side beading was smoothed out, it was given the front end of a VW Passat and a steeper rear end with rear lights from the Mercedes Stroke Eight, and even the engine and interior were modified. The Amalfi is painted in the VW color Sun Yellow L13K.

And so Ronald Genssler was invited to Einbeck - not only to present his wonderful Amalfi 1800 CS and its history in the PS Hall on Friday evening, but also to take part in the Einbeck Classic Car Days rally on Saturday. It even crossed the finish line as one of 220 rally cars that started. The Amalfi is not as bad as it is portrayed in the series.
Next year for the tenth time
The Einbeck Classic Car Days have been held on the first weekend of the Lower Saxony summer vacation every year since 2017; in 2026, this will be the weekend from 3 to 5 July. They always begin with a lecture in the PS Hall and the Drivers' Evening; the rally, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this year, starts on Saturday morning.

This is followed on Sunday by the public corso through Einbeck, in which 482 classic vehicles took part this year.

The PS.Speicher was founded by entrepreneur Karl-Heinz Rehkopf and opened in 2014. The museum and its five depots spread across Einbeck (motorcycles, commercial vehicles, extended collection, small cars and treasure chamber) have subsequently grown even further and been gradually opened to the public. With more than 2500 exhibits, the PS.Speicher is the largest classic car museum in Europe.
The extensive photo gallery provides an insight into the multi-day event.
