Photo Gallery «A "colorful" journey through time - special exhibition "Colors" at the Emil Frey Classics Museum»

"For a man, the color of his car has only one function, namely to decorate him. It is therefore purely a matter of fashion. And for the woman? For her anyway!" So once wrote the ADAC-Motorwelt. A special exhibition at the Emil Frey Classics Museum traces the history of "colors" and features 32 automobiles and lots of documentary material. This report gives an insight into the special exhibition and shows what visitors can expect.
