| Description International Old-Timer Classic Car Show Sixty years ago, the World Expo was held from 17 April to 19 October 1958 at the Heyzel grounds in Brussels under the name ‘Expo ‘58’. On 7 May 1948, the Belgian government decided to organise the World Expo to be held in 1955. However, the outbreak of the Korean War caused delays in the schedule and the government postponed the event to 1958. This World Expo was dominated by the belief in freedom and progress, a concept that was so characteristic of the 1950s and 1960s. Expo 58 was forever indelibly imprinted in the collective memory. 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 take a look back at the Expo 58 during InterClassics Brussels 2018. We will celebrate this auspicious anniversary with a special exposition featuring a unique collection of cars from the year 1958 in cooperation with the Belgian Vintage Vehicles Association (BFOV) in Hall 5. | |
