In its seventh edition, the auto show listed in the calendar of the International Organization Of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), was supported by different entities from the National, from the Provincial and from the city of Buenos Aires governments and the recognition from the Argentinean Ministry of Tourism, which declared it of tourist interest for the spreading and promotion of our country.
The exhibition of the automotive industry offered, among other attractions, the opportunity to experience a unique moment on the outdoor Off Road track, which had in the last two days, the rain as an ingredient that made it more exciting; in addition to the exhibition of classic cars, national sports cars, historic racing cars, Hot Rods.
One of the highlighted attractions which presented this seventh Auto Show was an unprecedented tribute to Juan Manuel Fangio, after 104 years of his birth, which was located in the Blue Pavilion and which moved thousands of visitors.
The family of the five-time world champion exhibited models that Fangio used during his successful sportive career and which today are on exhibition in his museum. The Mercedes Benz 300SL coupé roadster of 1958; the Maserati 250F, with which he obtained his fifth world championship in the Nürburgring Grand Prix; the Chevrolet 1940, with which he won the North International Grand Prix (Gran Premio Internacional Del Norte); and the almost unknown Simca Gordini of 1958, in which “el Chueco” raced through the woods in the park of Palermo and Rosario were there.
The Auto Show together with civil associations and public and private entities carried out several activities with the aim of spreading and installing the road safety and the knowledge of the standards. This was done through the Road Safety Education track for children, simulation games for young people and the delivery of informative and educational material.
