The “Car Festival” that Attracted 70,000 Attendees Suffered from the Corona Disaster and Reasons for Reopening

Sexy beauties pose next to shiny polished custom cars. …… Osaka Auto Messe 2022 was held from February 11 to 13 for the first time in two years.
Some vendors make most of their annual sales at Auto Messe, and many were eager for the event to be held. The show was quieter than in previous years, with silent hours to avoid the dense crowds and to keep people from shouting,” said a person involved with the Auto Messe.
Still, more than 70,000 visitors were recorded over the three days. High-end foreign cars such as Lamborghini and old domestic cars such as Toyota’s “Soarer” attracted the attention of customers. Costumed race queens added color to the largest auto show in western Japan.
I’m careful not to touch the cars unnecessarily because they get dirty. It looks like they have their hands and elbows on the car body, but they are just barely floating.
Their attention to detail is also a hidden highlight of the show.
