The inaugural American edition of the long-running Paris classic car show has pulled the cover off its official poster artwork for the very first time, and the choice of subject says everything about what kind of event this is going to be. The piece depicts a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante finished in the show's signature sage green livery. There is nothing accidental about that pairing. The Atalante is one of the most evocative shapes Jean Bugatti ever drew, and the quiet green ground lets the bodywork carry the whole composition.
That should ring a bell for anyone who has been paying attention. An Atalante from the same chapter of Bugatti history sat in a glass case at Rockefeller Plaza last December when Rétromobile first introduced itself to New York. The poster carries that same car forward as the show's emblem, a thread connecting the Manhattan launch to the show floor itself.
Rétromobile has been the heart of the European collector scene for nearly half a century. The New York edition is the first time it has ever set up outside France, and the poster is the clearest signal yet of how the American show intends to present itself: elegant, heritage-focused, and dripping with timeless sophistication.
