Name: Bitter CD 1972
Brand: Bitter

The 68th IAA, which will be the meeting place for the automotive industry in Frankfurt from September 12 to 22, 2019, was already the subject of much discussion in the run-up to the event. There was talk of 28 car manufacturers withdrawing from the event. However, there are brands that have not been there for many years. Motorworld celebrates the past in Hall 4 and basically presents a small classic car show to complement the new cars. But there are also a few classics to be seen among the modern cars. This Salon report shows many impressions of the 68th IAA in over 180 photos and names some of the highlights with a focus on automotive tradition.
