Every winter in Paris, Retromobile turns a vast exhibition hall into the collector-car world’s favourite meeting place. Collectors, dealers, restorers and enthusiasts fly in from around the world to walk the aisles, see cars that rarely leave private garages, and do business over coffee on the show floor.

The experience comes to Manhattan for the first time, from 19 to 22 November at the Javits Center. The city’s west side becomes home to the first Retromobile ever held outside France, and CARS is proud to be part of it as the show’s Official International Shipping Partner.

More than 100 exhibitors will fill 400,000 square feet. Leading international dealers will be there alongside manufacturers’ heritage divisions, restorers, clubs and museums. Expect everything from pre-war classics to historic race cars, all under one roof and all within reach. It is the kind of show where you can spend a full day and still find something new on the way out.

The excitement continues with the inaugural Retromobile New York Auctions by Gooding Christie’s on 20 and 21 November. Among the highlights are Steve McQueen’s 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S NART Spider and Billy Joel’s motorcycle collection, offered without reserve.

Arriving just ahead of the holiday season, Retromobile New York is the perfect excuse for a few days in the city. We hope to see you there.
