hub for oldtimer and classic car owners who are looking for parts for the most
diverse car brands. They will find two kilometers of stands with new and used
parts, accessories, interior parts, maintenance products, scarce specialist literature,
nostalgic automobilia, miniatures, curiosities and art objects with classic cars
as theme and much more.
Enjoy at every level
The Antwerp Classic Salon is
a show where everyone gets their money's worth. You can enjoy the unfeasible but
also what you can buy. You can dream away from Italian design and enjoy romantic
English nostalgia. Yet it is not exclusively a show for expensive cars. You will
also find a nice Volkswagen Beetle, a 2CV or a Fiat 500.
Make it a weekend
in Antwerp.
