Retro Car Exhibition to Open in Tomsk's Gorsad on May 1st.
Cruising Back in Time: Revisiting the Past at Tomsk's Retro Gathering
Get ready, auto enthusiasts! Mark your calendars for May 1, 2025, as Tomsk's City Garden (Городской сад) will play host to a incredible event: the "Opening of the Retro Season" (Открытие ретросезона)! This isn't just your everyday car show – it's a blast to the past!
Start your engines, because 12:00 PM (noon)[2] is the time to roll in and get a glimpse of some seriously vintage rides. With a focus on automobiles and motorcycles over 35 years old[2][4], this gathering promises to be a veritable treasure trove for enthusiasts showcasing the very best in timeless design[2].
A diverse lineup of vehicles[2] will be on display, ranging from our homeland's classics like "Moskvichi," "Волги," and "Жигули" to microbuses such as the "РАФ". Complementing these snapshots of Soviet automotive history, a few collectors will be bringing out some rare American gems from the '70s. Put on your dancing shoes, as exclusive motorcycles from Austria and beyond will also make an appearance[1].
If you're a fan of nostalgia, you won't want to miss the additional programming planned for the day. Organizers have set up a special booth by the lake where you'll be able to witness the workings of vintage vinyl record players, cassette, and reel-to-reel tape decks[1]. Put on your grooviest bell-bottoms and get ready to soak in the unparalleled audio experience of yesteryears!
