Auto Moto d’Epoca 2022: wandering around the stands
Among the focuses of the 39th edition is the history of classic car radios and the electrical spare parts sector.
From the Alfa Romeo 6C and the Lancia Aurelia: the event will cover the entire spectrum of electric car radios, a niche topic well known by enthusiasts in the aftermarket.
Car radios are a special world. For a long time only luxury cars were designed to accommodate the system and had a space in the dashboard in which to insert it. Only from the end of the 60s even mid-level cars – but not all – were produced with a removable panel, where to install the radio.
So there are not so many vintage car radios and, among collectors, the demand is high. At Auto Moto d’Epoca 2022 https://autoemotodepoca.com/ you can find 80% of the models in circulation. And that’s only a small fraction of the electrical aftermarket. A compartment that ranges from headlights to parabolas (the reflective part of vintage headlights), to distributors and spark plugs to switches, cables and direction indicators.
How many parts does a vintage engine have? All of them can be found at the Padua show and the offer of spare mechanical components is among the most complete. The most appreciated Italian and international spare parts dealers reserve the best of their offer at the Padua fair. Even original vintage spare parts – both used and still new – wrapped in the packaging with which they were distributed to workshops and mechanics decades ago.
Or very faithful reproductions, brought back to life by the workers and artisans of the ancient production plants.
