Veterans meeting
A meeting of old or historic motor vehicles is called a veteran meeting or classic car meeting. Such events are usually combined with a public exhibition of the vehicles for the public and an exit.
Basics
Classic car meetings are organized by clubs or private individuals in order to publicly exhibit vehicles, which can be automobiles , motorcycles , tractors , trucks , buses or even military vehicles , and to exchange ideas with participants and visitors. Such events often have a supporting program in which, in addition to the vehicle exhibition, dealers also sell historical items or spare parts. Often trips or competitions are carried out in which the function of the vehicles is demonstrated.
Classic car meetings usually take place from spring to autumn. Some special events are also offered in winter, where the focus is on moving vehicles on specially prepared, snow-covered roads. The meetings can be branded, themed or regional.
In addition, there are special forms of classic car meetings, such as a Concours d'Elegance . At these events, particularly rare and high-quality historic automobiles are exhibited and awarded in a competition in which the condition, originality, appearance or history are evaluated.
