Sixty years ago, the World Expo was held at the Heyzel grounds in Brussels under the name ‘Expo 58’. It is without a doubt one of the most important events in Belgium’s post-war history. Opened by King Boudewijn, the Expo drew 42 million visitors. The most important and iconic element of Expo 58 is undoubtedly the Atomium; nine gigantic spheres that together depict an iron crystal structure, magnified 165 billion times. 60 years later, we will look back during InterClassics Brussels at the Expo 58 and will be celebrating this auspicious anniversary with a special exposition featuring a unique collection of 20 cars from the year 1958 in cooperation with the Belgian Vintage Vehicles Association (BFOV). This collection includes a Peugeot 203, an Opel Olympia Rekord P, a Lancia Aurelia Convertible, a Jaguar Mark VIII (MK8) and a Renault Alpine A106, all of which were naturally built in 1958.

InterClassics Brussels will be held from Friday, 16 through Sunday, 18 November 2018 at Halls 5, 6, 7 and 9 of the Brussels Expo. The classic car exhibition traditionally attracts many buyers and enthusiasts.
