The Toyota Automobile Museum will hold its 30th Classic Car
Festival at the Aichi Expo Memorial Park in Nagakute City, Aichi
Prefecture, on October 27. The Classic Car Festival is aimed at
promoting car culture, and leaving a legacy in the local community.
A diverse selection of events will be held for visitors to enjoy,
centered on the Aichi Expo Memorial Park, including a parade on
public roads of privately-owned Japanese, American, and European
classic cars dating from 1989 or earlier.
A variety of events have been planned to mark the 30th edition of
the festival. The parade route has been designed to enable as many
people as possible to cheer and watch from the roadside.
Approximately 150 privately owned cars will drive in chronological
order from the Toyota Automobile Museum, through Nagakute City, to
Aichi Expo Memorial Park. Following the parade, a special
exhibition zone will be created for cars dating from 1989.
A special exhibition entitled "Cars That Symbolize the Ages" will
commemorate the change to the Reiwa Era, and six symbolic cars
dating from the Meiji (1868-1912), Taisho (1912-1926), Showa
(1926-1989), and Heisei (1989-2019) Eras will be on display and
take part in parade runs. Takahiko Kozuka, the former figure skater
and current JOC Sports Environment Ambassador who turned 30 this
year, will attend the exhibition as a special guest.
Naoaki Nunogaki, director of the Toyota Automobile Museum,
commented on the festival: "This is said to be a period of major
change in the field of mobility; however, even in periods of
change, there are things that remain the same. Since cars are
products that transport people, I believe they must continue to
inspire affection. Some 150 classic cars that have been cherished
by their owners across Japan will take part in the parade, and I
very much hope that they will bring happiness to those who watch on
from the roadside."
