    1. ok. Rub my nose into the fact that you didn't read that on my blog https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2024/10/an-american-edition-of-salon.html
      And I'll point out, it's going to be in 2025... according to me, and https://www.retromobile.com/en/presse/press-releases/retromobile-announcement-usa
      So, the DuPont registry can bite me

    2. I probably saw the post at the time, but I might not have followed the links. Neither of those links have a date or location, so Retromobile and DuPont Registry probably could not make it happen during 2025.

    3. clicking on the link brings you the info; "PARIS, October 3, 2024 – Comexposium is proud to announce that duPont REGISTRY Group (DRG), the world’s leading luxury ecosystem, encapsulating the culture, community and commerce of the high-end automotive lifestyle, has been chosen to be its exclusive partner to create an American edition of the prestigious Salon Rétromobile, to be held in North America from 2025."

      so Retromobile and DuPont Registry probably could not make it happen during 2025.? What are you talking about?
      Retromobile's website STILL says 2025

    4. The October press releases said that Retromobile would be partnering with Dupont Registry to bring the show to the USA "from 2025", but they did not say when or where the show would be. The February 6 press release from Dupont Registry is announcing the date and location as November '26 in NYC. I think that they wanted to have the show in 2025, but couldn't make it happen, so it will be in 2026.

    5. That could be. Kicking off the first one is likely to be a LOT of problems. I asked the press contact about the date and location, and she said that info is still to be announced
