Historical vehicles on display Saturday

The center of Kaisers-lautern will offer a journey through the history of motor vehicles Saturday.

The third Kaiserslautern Classics display will be set up from 10 a.m. to midnight in all pedestrian zones, on Martinsplatz, the old Pfalztheater parking lot, around Stiftskirche, on Schillerplatz and Altenhof. Vintage vehicles, newer cars, motorcycles and utility vehicles will be presented.

Collectors, vintage vehicle friends, motor sports clubs and associations will show off their vehicles during the event.

“We received various interesting registrations for vehicles such as Porsche,
Rolls Royce or the historical fire trucks,” said Alexander Hess from the project office for city events. “Highlights will be a Ford Fairlane Skyliner from 1958, a Cadillac Eldorado from 1974 and a Victoria-Spatz from 1957.”

The entertaining program will feature music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Between French vehicles, Alexandra Maas will present French music and tango from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. near the fountain on Riesenstrasse.

Harald Krüger will perform rock ‘n’ roll near Stiftskirche and the jazz ensemble Der Boogiebaron will entertain the audience on Schillerplatz. The saxophone quartet The Lazy Tongues will play classic hits.

In the evening, between 7 and 11 p.m., Doctor’s Order will present rock ‘n’ roll on Schillerplatz, Present Art Collection will perform music from the 1950, 1960s and 1970s, and the Unnerhaus Jazzband will be marching through the streets.

Kaiserslautern Classics also features a late shopping night. Stores in the center and all other areas will stay open until midnight.

“We hope visitors enjoy our late shopping offer and all the entertainment,” Mr. Hess said.

The Tourist Information office (next to Fruchthalle, across from Rathaus) will offer guided city tours at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.kaiserslautern-classics.de.
