This remarkable photograph from the Roel Dijkstra collection captures a moment at the AutoRAI, the leading Dutch auto exhibition of the 1950s and 1960s. The hall is filled with the most prestigious models of the time, with a strong presence of American brands such as General Motors, Cadillac, Vauxhall, and Opel.

In the foreground, an Opel Rekord stands proudly on a raised platform, a model that symbolized German engineering with a touch of American styling. The spacious walkways and elegantly designed exhibition stands, decorated with flowers, reflect the luxurious atmosphere of auto shows from this era. Cadillac and Chevrolet models, with their signature tailfins and chrome details, immediately catch the eye, while station wagons and sedans highlight the diversity of the offerings.

During this period, the AutoRAI was the premier event where car manufacturers introduced their latest models to the Dutch public. The influence of the American auto industry on the European market is clearly evident, with cars representing luxury, innovation, and progress.

This fine art print is a beautiful tribute to the golden age of auto shows and a time when driving was not just a necessity but also a symbol of status. A must-have for classic car enthusiasts and automotive history lovers.
