I use to visit classc car events from time to time, typically a few each year and already found some topics about this subject. So why not start a themed thread about it? I think It could make discussions or jusz simple talks a bit easier, because we will soon get to know, who is interested. For me, it will take some time to collect the better shots of each convention, so I will continue posting from time to time, but I am clearly interested to see shootings from other events as well. But of course, this thread is not restricted to photos taken on events. Maybe you are just lucky to find some interesting old cars just right on the street.
Sometimes I retouch the license plates, so not all letters may be seen. This is just a subject of data protection regulations, also depending on the meeting being visited. On some events cars have to be registered before visiting and owners have to agree that their cars will be subject of photographs in total, so I don't have to do this annoying work during post-processing. Some license plates end up with the letter "H" right after the numbers. This means "historical" and can be used for cars older than 30 years which are not subject of every day use and show up mainly in original condition. Taxes and insurances are usually a bit lower than for cars of general use.
As a first impression and post I start with shots I took at the classic car meeting of 2024 at the Kiekeberg Open Air Museum, a big and well-established agricultural museum south of Hamburg in Germany. This meeting takes place one weekend each year end of May or early in June for some decades already, but the first one I visited with my Sony camera was in June 2024, so I start with that event.
Some German cars shown not far from the entrance of the museum. Opel used to be the European brand and subdivision of General Motors for many decades with its headquarters in Germany, but was sold to PSA group in 2017, whih later became a part of Stellantis.
Opel Olympia, built 1952, with VW Beetle behind
