Mahy Expo Promotion Pooster - a photo on Flickriver

Over the years the Mahy family had collected a huge and also unique collection of classical and special cars. Grandfather Ghislain Mahy (1907-1999) started in the early 1950s to buy old cars just to prevent them of being scrapped. Initially he was intended to restore them, but soon his collection had grown beyond limits. In the 1980s he possessed over 1000 classical cars. So most cars were kept and put aside in the state as found. Only a small amount could be restored: a few of them can be admired in Autoworld, Brussels. See: www.autoworld.be/onthaal
After the death of patron Ghislain his son Ivan (84) and grandson Michel (56) became his successors in charge of the family treasures.

In the 1990s the Mahy collection had to leave the old Ghent winter circus building. Between 1996 and 1999 a huge operation was executed to move the whole collection to a new home in an old deserted textile factory in in Leuze-en-Hainaut (B). In this new museum some 1000 classic cars can be seen.

Some fifty original and unrestored cars were to be seen here at this temporary exposition at the Ghent Vynckier Site. All selected jewels are of the most extraordinary cars automobile history can offer.

The depicted car on the poster is a 1947 DELAHAYE 148 Légère hardtop cabriolet redesigned by Coachwork Oblin, Brussels.
