Retromobile New York has added a special exhibition to its inaugural program, and it reads a bit like a well-stamped passport. The Exclusive Car Gallery will bring together 20 automobiles from five nations: the United States, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, with four cars representing each. The display is made possible by a group of collectors who assembled these cars especially for visitors to the show, which runs November 19–22 at the Javits Center.
The premise is a good one. Each of these countries shaped the automobile in its own way, through the marques it produced and the design and engineering habits those marques carried for generations. Put the cars side by side on one floor, and the differences become easy to read.
The gallery's preview introduces five of the 20, one per nation. On its own, it makes a strong case for the trip.
Fifteen More Waiting at the Javits Center
Those are five of the 20. The other 15 complete the gallery at Javits, and if the preview is any indication, the full lineup will be one of the centerpieces of the show.
It's one stop among many. Retromobile New York brings more than 100 exhibitors to 400,000 square feet of show floor, with highlights that include cars from Jerry Seinfeld's private collection, the CART X Gallery curated by Larry Warsh and the official Gooding Christie's auction. Set aside more time than you think you'll need.
