From June 6 to 8, 2013, an event was held in Pie\u0161\u0165any again, which, in addition to a beautiful display of historic vehicles, is also a demonstration of the excellent management work of the organizers.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The development of motoring in Pie\u0161\u0165any is inextricably linked to the local spa. In 1912, the Winters bought a Dion Bouton passenger car, which they rented out to spa guests, including with a driver. In this way, rather unknowingly, they laid the foundation stone for the future emergence of car rental companies, which today, a century later, are dominated by AVIS in Slovakia.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The history of the Pie\u0161\u0165any car show dates back to the years 1932 to 1937, when famous competitions for the most beautiful car were held in Pie\u0161\u0165any. The events were known as the Concours d'El\u00e9gance and were the culmination of long parade drives. Interestingly, they were also attended by famous spa guests and personalities with shiny cars, such as actor Vlasta Burian, singer Richard Taubner or the famous Countess Gerald\u00edna Apponyiov\u00e1 of Oponice.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, World War II stopped the tradition of the competition, which was resumed after 1980 under the name Pie\u0161\u0165any Golden Ribbons \u2013 Concours d'El\u00e9gance, but as a show of historic vehicles. The competition program usually consists of a drive on a selected route outside Pie\u0161\u0165any. However, the most attractive to spectators is the drive through the city and the show of cars on the Spa Island with an evaluation of the most beautiful of them. Thanks to ardent lovers of vintage cars, we can admire rare cars from different countries and their crews dressed in period clothing every year. In front of the Thermia Palace Hotel, which creates a dignified, elegant and period-appropriate environment, individual vintage cars and their crews are ceremonially presented to the public. It is an experience not only for younger generations, but also a full-fledged excursion into the past for adult admirers of motoring.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The unique parade of historic vehicles Pie\u0161\u0165any Golden Ribbons \u2013 Concours d'\u00c9l\u00e9gance 2013 began in the afternoon, when the shiny vintage cars passed through Winterova Street to K\u00fape\u013en\u00fd ostrov. Here the organizers welcomed them and introduced the individual vehicles. On Friday, June 7, the crews of their oldtimers dressed in period costumes started from K\u00fape\u013en\u00fd ostrov. They had a 120 km long route with a stop at the prestigious manor house in Oponice, from where they continued to Nitra and back to Pie\u0161\u0165any. On Saturday, lovers of historic vehicles presented themselves in Trnava. Among the participants in the event were also the racers of this year's Dakar Rally on their racing Tatra 815. The people of Pie\u0161\u0165any also welcomed an autograph session with motorcyclist Ivan Jake\u0161, who at the prestigious Rally<\/p>\n

Dakar achieved a lifetime achievement \u2013 4th place.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Among the interesting models were also the Rolls Royce Phantom from 1926, the Jaguar from 1952 or the Belsize Cabrio from 1903 and dozens of other rare vehicles from several European countries. The culmination of the event was the Saturday "beauty parade" in front of the Thermia Palace hotel. An international jury selected the most beautiful cars and the best period clothing of the crews in individual categories. The presentation of the crews on the red carpet was accompanied by a musical program and the event culminated with fireworks in the rhythm of period music. The Pie\u0161\u0165any golden ribbons were a success again and, according to the organizer, J\u00e1n Hor\u0148\u00e1k, they certainly surpassed the world rallies in Sweden and Berlin.<\/p>\n
