SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 22, 2026 – If you love classic cars for their stories, their shapes, and the way they instantly pull you into another era, Paris is about to feel like a dream garage. Stellantis says it will celebrate the 50th anniversary edition of the Rétromobile Show in Paris from January 28 to February 1, with six brands sharing the spotlight: Alfa Romeo, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel, Maserati, and PEUGEOT. The event takes place at Porte de Versailles and is positioned as a major moment for enthusiasts who want heritage, design nostalgia, and a peek at where car culture is going next.
A Big Anniversary for a Show Built on Passion
Rétromobile is described as one of the world’s most prestigious events dedicated to classic cars, and Stellantis is leaning into that anniversary energy with brand-by-brand stands. The company notes the show will feature more than 500 exhibitors and welcomes around 150,000 visitors, which helps explain why this week on the calendar feels like a pilgrimage for many collectors and fans. This is also framed as coming shortly after Stellantis marked its first five years of activity, while highlighting how the individual brands have long histories that shaped automotive culture.
Six Brands, Six Different Reasons to Stop and Stare
Stellantis is not presenting this as one generic “corporate booth.” Each brand gets a dedicated stand, which matters because the emotional pull of classic cars is usually very personal: some people chase racing pedigree, others fall for design, and others care most about national heritage and craftsmanship.
Here’s the simple promise: if you walk Hall 7.2, you are meant to move from brand to brand like you’re flipping through six different chapters of European car history, with a few modern twists mixed in.
Standout Displays You’ll Hear People Talking About
Stellantis shares several specific highlights it plans to show in Paris, and the selection is intentionally broad, from rare prototypes to presidential cars to modern supercars.
- Alfa Romeo will pair the new Tonale with classics including the 1600 Spider ‘Duetto’ (1966), the ultra-rare Alfa Romeo 750 Competizione (1955) with only two prototype units ever built, and the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Periscopica (1967).
- Citroën will show seven historic prototypes, including the Traction Avant 15-6 Cabriolet prototype from 1939, plus the ELO concept car that blends a future mobility vision with heritage elements.
- DS Automobiles will show four special presidential vehicles, spanning icons like the DS 21 (1965) and the Presidential DS N°8 (2025), plus the Presidential SM (1972), alongside photo and video content about their ties to the French Presidency.
- Opel will bring classics like the Kadett C Coupé (1978), the Manta 400 Group B Works/Usine (1983), and the Monza GSE (1986), plus the 2026 Opel Astra’s first appearance in France and the Opel Mokka GSE.
- Maserati will appear in the Ultimate Supercar Garage (Hall 4) with the MCXtrema and GT2 Stradale, as part of the Stellantis BOTTEGAFUORISERIE project alongside Alfa Romeo’s Nuova 33 Stradale and Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa.
- PEUGEOT will present the new PEUGEOT E-208 GTi for the first time in France in its white launch color, supported by a display of seven PEUGEOT 205 and 208 GTi Series 2 models, including the original launched in 1984.
Why This Mix Works So Well Right Now
A great classic-car show isn’t only about “old cars lined up.” It’s about identity: what a brand once stood for, what it stands for today, and how it tries to connect those dots without feeling forced. Stellantis is clearly trying to hit that sweet spot by putting rare historic pieces next to modern flagships and concepts.
If you’re a casual visitor, the fun is instant: you can enjoy the shapes, colors, and atmosphere without needing a deep history lesson. If you’re a serious enthusiast, the details are the hook: prototypes, anniversary models, historic competition cars, and those “I didn’t expect to see that here” moments that make your camera roll explode.
Planning Your Visit Without Overthinking It
Stellantis frames this as an “unmissable rendezvous” for classic-car fans and people who enjoy cutting-edge innovation, and the timing is straightforward. The show runs from January 28 to February 1 in Paris at Porte de Versailles, and Stellantis points visitors to Hall 7.2 for its six brand stands (with Maserati also appearing in the Ultimate Supercar Garage area in Hall 4).
If you’re deciding whether it’s worth the trip, the easiest way to think about it is this: you’re not going for one car, you’re going for variety. The Stellantis presence alone spans sports cars, prototypes, presidential vehicles, rally heritage, and modern supercars in one weekend-friendly package.
