Bologna Italy, Day 5

It’s day five in bologna, and it’s day three at this tremendous show, which continues to exceed my expectations.

Lancia Fulvias, more
than I have ever seen in one place in my life

Day One was used cars for sale, Day Two was parts and literature, and Day Three was car clubs and organizations. I’ve observed that Italy has very strong support for collector cars, based on the number of clubs here for the show. There are also some large dealerships specializing in collectible automobiles, and they were well represented as well.

Today being Saturday, the crowds were much larger than they were Thursday and Friday. It was a bit more difficult to take photos without people in the way. This next photo gives you some idea of the size of the crowd.

Sprinkles do not keep people from enjoying their Panini and coffee.

Tomorrow is the final day of the show, and I need to make sure that I’ve hit all 13 buildings!

  1. Quite the marathon (13 buildings) you’re running! What a spectacular display of cool cars and autostuff! I just took a second look at the Fulvia photo and realized that there is another row of them facing the ones in the foreground. How do you keep from over-salivating?

  2. What an trip! Sensory overload for sure. ( And that’s not a bunch of bologna!) The Ferrari 275GTB is my favorite Ferrari since I was a sprout. That was not the original paint job, I surmise.

    • Hi Dan, thanks for your comments! I agree with you about the 275 GTB, although I did not look closely enough at it to make any determination about its paint job. Thanks again, Richard
