American Motor Show

American Motor Show: The passion for American cars in Territoire de Belfort

Every spring, the Cora d'Andelnans parking lot (90400) transforms into a piece of America in the heart of the Territoire de Belfort. The American Motor Show, a major gathering of vintage American vehicles, attracts between 100 and 150 exceptional vehicles and several thousand passionate visitors for a day immersed in American automotive culture.

A parade of chrome and power

This is a unique opportunity to see the most beautiful specimens of American automotive history gathered in one place:

• Muscle cars from the 60s-70s: Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Charger, and their legendary V8 engines
• Custom cars and hot rods: unique creations modified and personalized by enthusiasts
• Cadillacs and Lincolns: American luxury sedans with inimitable style
• Chevrolet Corvettes and other sports icons of the American dream
• Pickups and trucks from all eras, chromed and impeccably maintained
• American cars from the 50s: pastel-lacquered ancestors with characteristic fins
• Harley-Davidsons and custom American motorcycles

An American Way of Life atmosphere

The American Motor Show is not limited to vehicle exhibition. The event is steeped in an authentically American atmosphere:

• Pin-ups in period attire for souvenir photos
• Rock'n'roll, rockabilly, and blues music
• Stands selling American products: t-shirts, caps, figurines, and memorabilia
• Food stalls with burgers, hot dogs, and American-style barbecue
• Entertainment and best car contests

A family-friendly and accessible event

The American Motor Show is open to everyone, from car enthusiasts to the simply curious. Children are fascinated by these imposing chrome machines, and parents take the opportunity to explain the history of American automobiles. Entry is free for visitors, contributing to the event's accessibility and popular success.

The event takes place on May 8th, a public holiday in France commemorating the Allied victory in 1945, echoing the American contribution to the liberation of Europe — a symbolic coincidence appreciated by organizers and participants.
