This is the kind of classic car show that is missing here in America. Great show and quality rare classics. So lovely.

[@petrolpunx]

It's a fantastic event!

[@KenanTurkiye]

All auto show grounds should be carpeted, that's how I visualize which ones to buy and place in my lounge room. :)

[@petrolpunx]

😂😂😂 That's right

Love the longchamp ..togheter with the Maserati kyalamy my favourite Italian gt cars from the 70's

[@petrolpunx]

I absolutely get it. The Longchamp isn't necessarily nice, but it's super cool. Have you seen the Deauville in the video? That's also very very cool.

[@base7022]

Thanks for the great video! I don't live far from Maastricht, if I went there I wouldn't come home alive because I would have a heart attack. Too many incredibly great classic cars, I won't survive, ha, ha, ha! Thank you! cheers Klaus from Düsseldorf

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx a bunch! Always happy when I can give a good look around. So thanx for the feedback.

[@kramnam4716]

That firebird featured in the Dutch Burt Reynolds film “Schmokey and a Pancake” 😊great vid thanks

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx a lot!

[@philipB31]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, you clearly know a huge amount about most of the vehicles here and I found it fascinating, thank you. Be well and stay safe.

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx a lot! Glad you liked this walk around. It's all very spontaneous, and more to tell about the cars.

[@Jonoponomono]

What a fantastic show. I like your choice of the Longchamp. Very cool, very rare and great V8 sound.

[@petrolpunx]

I was super stoked to see this - and the Deauville too. Great looking cars!

[@jameshutton5979]

I could see myself in a Longchamp too. Thanks for your great tour!

[@petrolpunx]

You're welcome!

[@jaap5398]

I am not always a fan of car show walkaround vdieos but your particular style and taste in cars made this one a lot of fun - I like how you pick out design 'quirks and features’. Keep going, your channel will grow!

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx so much! That's very encouraging - as it's always a bit difficult to do all this more or less spontaneous. Glad that you liked it!

[@REMICHANICS]

Thanks a million for taking us along! A lot of nice content, I particularly liked the Rancho and the R5 Maxi Turbo of course, the only Renault in the video if I am not mistaken! Thanks for the cool video, really enjoyed walking along the show with you.

[@petrolpunx]

Glad that you liked it Remi!

[@SWright1978]

Great video and commentary. Thank you from Los Angeles.

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx a lot, really appreciated!

[@Sonnymonster]

I always wanted a Talbot Rancho since I first saw one at my local Talbot dealer in period. Now I’ve seen this one, I want one even more❤️

[@petrolpunx]

Same here 😍

[@bennygutmann7456]

The DS Henry Chapron is on of the most beautiful cars ever build! ❤ This was one in an excellent taken care condition! A build dream car.

[@petrolpunx]

Yes, definitely! Chapron was an artist. Actually prefer the Concorde over the Le Dandy.

[@bennygutmann7456]

@@petrolpunx all Citroën from Chapron have their individual beauty!

[@zak_7354]

That gold Citroen is tres cool!

Oh oui oui

[@cheharrison7107]

Thanks for covering the Porsche 928, the only porsche I'd have, it normally gets ignored because of the 911, Also that Facel Vega! One of my all time favourites, such a glorious car, and a 6.2 V8! So much cooler than a Rolls too.

[@petrolpunx]

Yeah, same here. I'm not into any 911 and would always prefer almost any 928. It's such a brilliant car.

[@cheharrison7107]

@@petrolpunx my dad's friend owned a Porsche dealership, I remember sitting in his maroon 928 as a kid and loving the awesome chequered interior. The car by the way was parked in the underground garage of his cliff side house! 😎

[@petrolpunx]

Especially the early cloth interiors look absolutely great!

[@farshidrahmani6262]

Welcome to camp 928 😉

i love them all. thanks

[@RobinLikeABoss]

5:36 This is a 1976 Volvo 242, imported to the Netherlands in 2002. All cars pre January 1978, imported or not can get these historical dark blue plates :) If you import you'll automatically get them. If you have an original Dutch one, and you still haven't gone back to the dark blue ones and still are running the yellow ones (that we went to in '79) you can apply to the RDW to get the dark blue, historical plates again (but your car needs to from 1977 or older)

[@RobinLikeABoss]

About the reason I think most people were hating on the XJ220 back in the day and its V6 was because all the prototypes were V12s and they were taking pre orders on the car with the promise the car would be a V12. I wouldn't be happy either if I pre ordered one thinking it was gonna get a V12 and then they release it with a V6 (which is the biggest reason production numbers were so limited, since a ton of people cancelled their orders)

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx for that info. It's actually pretty cool, that you can get plates having an old look.

[@RobinLikeABoss]

@@petrolpunx Yea definitely! Just a shame it's for the pre 1978 cars only though :) If you'd import any car from 1978 or newer they'll just get a brand spanking new yellow plate instead of a period correct one :/

[@Trichromasie]

18:30 it is indeed a beauty, also it remains me of a very angry ford granada 2 door sedan on steroids

[@petrolpunx]

Yeah, well said 😂

[@BB-tc6gz]

The XJ220 is the most beautiful car ever made in my opinion. The backstory kinda sucks with people preordered long in advance being told by Jaguar it was going to be a V12, and AWD if I remembered correctly. Well half the drive wheels and cylinders later it's still gorgeous.

[@petrolpunx]

Quite a tragic history involved there. But what a cool looking car!

[@tjittekamminga5170]

Great! Thanks a lot.

[@petrolpunx]

Glad you liked, even I do missed a lot.

[@peterpanx1]

If you look carefully at the De Tomaso Longchamp you'll see that it's lines is straight out of a Granada MK2. It's like a chopped Granada. The lines are lowered, car shortened and the rear made more sporty. Wrong the Longchamp came in 72 and the Granada 78 so maby it's the other way around. The designers at Ford had seen the slightly more angular styling of the Longchamp when designing the Granada MK2 ,,,,just speculating 🤔😎

[@petrolpunx]

Yeah, there are actually quite a few design influences - and parts used. The Ford bit is no surprise, as Ford was heavily involved in all this.

[@trickydicky112]

Let me add my 2 cents to the Lobgchamp discussion. I love pretty much anything with a de tomaso badge on it but do acknowledge that there was a lot of design borrowing going on. The story I always had, which seems plausible when you look at rhe cars, was that the Longchamp was a reinterpretation of the Mercedes 500sl, the deauville a reinterpretation of the jaguar xj, the pantera well a mash up of a few italians, and the pantera Si a ferrari F40. Note also the question about the maserati like interior..I believe they had a relationship with them and there was even some badge engineering at one stage.

[@jonathancarson1974]

Great walkthrough!

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx a lot!

[@Chris.Davies]

When you are using a wide angle (distorting) lens, even though you are filming at 60fps, you must learn to pan much MUCH more slowly. If you think you are panning as slowly as you should, you are still panning twice as fast as you should.

[@petrolpunx]

Thanx for the tipp. So it's all in the moment, and I actually want to show my perspective - top notch video quality is nice, but not my main concern or goal here. But really, thanx for the feedback!!!

[@andreashellwig9863]

In diesem Video gibt es ja so viele Fahrzeuge zu sehen, dass ich mich nicht ärgern muss, nicht selbst dorthin gefahren zu sein...

[@petrolpunx]

[@petrolpunx]

Great that you liked the cars. I usually skip all the Porsches and Ferraris - it's interesting, but every Simca has more attraction to me 😂😂😂

I had a Longchamp from my brother in law to drive around for half a year because it was so unreliable and at 25ltr per 100km it was not cheap. Fill up a 100ltr.gastank today.Later on he traded the car on a new Bmw 635 csi for Dm 7500.- what a shame. if only I had known about

[@petrolpunx]

I love stories like that. And this is exactly, how I imagine DeTomaso ownership 😂😂😂

Europeans are lucky. USA 70s and 80s cars are severely lacking compared to all these stylish and unique cars

[@petrolpunx]

And these are all special. Well, most of them 😂

[@trickydicky112]

minor moan moment: why is it that no one these days wants to pronounce the word coupe like the French word that it is (coopay)? I thought it was just the Americans. Moan over - great video. Thanks

As much as I loved it, the main focus for me where the much rarer Horizon. The 1000 won an award by the way.
