On October 30, 2016, Renate and Peter Hürlimann once again hosted the St. Gallen classic car fair in the Olma halls. The dry weather and the interesting range of exhibits attracted a record number of visitors to eastern Switzerland early on, so much so that the entrances had to be opened earlier than planned. This trade fair report highlights some of the highlights and shows many of the exhibitors and exhibits in pictures.
