After four years of absence, it is with great enthusiasm that the Classic Salon returns to Antwerp Expo. This event, which enshrines itself in the hearts of classic car enthusiasts, has a rich history of passion and tradition in the world of classic cars. Organized by Flanders Collection Cars, known for the classic car fair in Ghent, the edition from April 5 to 7 promises to be a major spectacle on an area of 12.500 square meters.
A look back at previous editions
Over the years, the Classic Salon had developed into a fixture for collectors, restorers, and classic car enthusiasts. Previous editions have highlighted a wide range of themes, from specific brands to historical milestones in the automotive world. The corona epidemic and later other issues threw a spanner in the works and the classic car enthusiast had to do without this permanent fixture in Antwerp for years. These events not only provided a stage for rare and unique models, but also for the stories and people behind these beautiful machines. But now the Classic Salon is back, in the hands of a new organization.
110 years of Maserati: a central theme
This year marks the 110th anniversary of Maserati, a theme that celebrates the rich history and innovative design of this legendary brand. Collaborations with clubs such as Maserati Club Belgium and contributions from Maserati Antwerp ensure a unique experience. Visitors can marvel at historic models such as the Maserati 6CM from 1937 and the latest generation of sports cars, including the MC 20.
Abarth and Porsche: anniversary celebrations
In addition to Maserati, Abarth and Porsche also receive special attention. Abarth celebrates its 75th anniversary with a selection of eight exceptional cars, presented by the Abarth Works Museum. The 60th anniversary of the first generation Porsche 911 will also be highlighted, with a range of rare models that pay tribute to this iconic design.
A legacy continued

The return of the Classic Salon is a moment of reunion for the community and an opportunity to pick up the threads of a beloved tradition.
