The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Last weekend took place the traditional Vevey retro oldtimers meeting. The exceptionally warm weather (over 35°C) only added to the fun and to the pleasure.

Some excerpts:

The USA was of course well represented in this 100th anniversary of Chevy:













A superb Packard









A couple of "Woodies"














Good ol' Roscoe P. Coltrane was there, as was Starsky and Hutch











Note the special space for the Jack Daniels.









A gorgeous Bel Air








but Europe was not at rest with some classy examples from Great Britain:



















But Germany responded:















As did Italy:







and France:








The USA always at war:





Note the Coca Cola bottle opener on the dashboard!






with Germany following suit:



A very dirty and disrespectful of the meeting Stag:



The fabulous Riviera. By Buick. One of only 3'000 or so pieces ever made:





A gorgeous DeVille Coupé:





I even thought that Admin was present. Or was it just his Marcos?



A beautiful Fury with Tom's state numbers at the back:



and California's at the front:



The Ghostbusters were also present:







as was Marty:



A classy K-series with Quebec plates and a Breitling cap for his owner:





You could even buy some infrastructure from the US freeways to provide some very needed bucks to the US economy:

great pics and some beautiful cars.
looks like just the perfect day for such an event, nice.

I didn't know there was such a big collectors market for vintage automobiles especially US cars in Switzerland... a lot of those cars are beautiful! I have a fancy for vintage Caddys...

someday... if this watch hobby doesn't eat up all of my funds...

Indeed there is, especially at the German-speaking Switzerland. A good reason is that up to the early '70s, I believe, GM cars were assembled in Bienne (at the heart of watchmaking country ). Rumor has it that they were much better finished than their American counterparts. Now, the former factory is a "vulgar" super-market and DIY shop.

Also, on June 19, the 100th anniversary of Louis-Joseph Chevrolet (a native of La Chaux-de-Fonds, again at the heart of watchmaking country) was celebrated at...La Chaux-de-Fonds. Despite the rainy weather, over 1'000 Chevys were present from all over Europe. Not counting the Daweoos that they now call Chevys.
