In the fifties and sixties, automobile dreams came true worldwide with so-called GRP or fiberglass bodies, i.e. bodies made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic. This material made it possible to produce very small series at reasonable costs. Unfortunately, many of these vehicles have long since disappeared from our roads and most have been forgotten.

On May 30, 2015, they will come together for the third time, from the BMW M1 to the Enzmann 506, from the Alpine A110 to the Jensen C-V8, from the Ferrari 308 GTB to the Renault Espace. Limousines, sports cars, specials - all are welcome, the only requirement is a plastic body. Lucerne/Rain will become a metropolis of plastic and will showcase a variety of vehicles that has rarely been offered in a small space.

French plastic beauties as guests of honor

This year's guests of honor are French plastic cars, for example vehicles from Matra, MVS, Deutsch-Bonnet, Alpine, Renault, etc.
