On the first Sunday of every month, classic cars of various provenances meet for the Oldtimer Sunday Morning in Zug. The meeting, known as OSMT for short, is extremely popular and takes place five times a year (May to September, with a break in August). Like other meetings, the response from classic car drivers is of course heavily dependent on the weather, but on August 7, 2016, all the conditions were right, as it was sunny, dry and warm.

Victims of their own success

The 600 or so announced classic cars were supposed to enter the "Arena" in the Zug bull stables from 09:30, but the gates had to be opened earlier and the queues in front of the entrance grew longer and longer, so that some visitors with historic vehicles had to spend half an hour in slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic through Zug. The one or other clutch or cylinder head gasket must have resented the organizers for this and some classic car drivers were a little disgruntled.

The clever ones parked their cars off to the side so that they could be pulled into the bull stables later. However, this meant that the one or other gem was hidden from the public, but some of the neo-classics in the "Arena" were astonishing.

Life is beautiful - Maserati special show

The Maserati special show "Maserati - La vita è bella" had been announced as a major event, and the Maserati 8CM from 1933 by Kurt Hasler on display did indeed ensure continuous crowds of people.

But it also had the advantage of being in the brighter front part of Hall 3, while the few other Maserati classics (including Merak, Quattroporte, etc.) were parked in the shady rear part and had to compete with the new car exhibition of the same brand.

Contrasts

The attraction of events like the OSMT is the breadth of the range of cars that come together; in Zug there are also tractors, commercial vehicles and motorcycles.

And there are not only the pampered super classics to inspect, but also the likeable bread and butter cars of yesteryear. So the walk through the dozen or so rows of cars is the highlight for most visitors.

Variety

The variety on display would suit many a car museum. On August 7, 2016, for example, a BMW 507 in white was parked quite unpretentiously, probably the most expensive car on the site.

A few meters further on, you could see an Alfa Romeo Arna, built at the beginning of the 1980s as a joint product of Nissan and Alfa Romeo and launched with only modest market success. How could it, when Japanese design meets Italian production and technology? Today, however, an Arna is probably less common on our roads than a BMW 507.

Character faces

What certainly struck the visitor in Zug was how different the cars of one era could look.

Ford Corsair, Citroën Ami 6, Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, VW Beetle or DKW Junior - they were all built around the same time, but they were so different that it is hard to imagine them today, both visually and technically.

Walter Brun takes to the keys

Those who had had enough of strolling around could relax in the marquee and came across another classic, namely Walter Brun with his Swinging Boys. Former car racing driver and team boss Brun took to the keys of the electric piano and even played the saxophone to set the mood.

Collegial discussions over food and drink

Of course, you didn't have to enjoy the music dry and hungry, sausages from the grill or a pizza were always available. And those who wanted to cool down could buy a soft ice cream.

At the table or while strolling through the rows, petrolhead conversations automatically ensued and the phrase "everything used to be better" was certainly uttered more than once.

Two BMW milestones

Incidentally, two milestones from BMW's 100-year history were well represented. Both the BMW 328 and the Isetta were represented several times, probably a coincidence, but certainly also a sign that these vehicles in particular are popular in Switzerland.

The Ford Capri and various Alfa Romeo models were also well represented, and the transaxle GTV parade alone almost looked like a club meeting.

In any case, OSMT visitors were delighted with the variety on display and most of them will be returning to Zug in September despite the traffic jam problems when the 5th OSMT Fiat, Europe's best-selling car, is celebrated on September 11, 2016.
