The festival, called "Toyota Automobile Museum Classic Car Festival in Jingu Gaien", will be the third hosted by the museum and is aimed at promoting and developing Japan's automobile culture and encouraging interaction among car fans. The main venue will be the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, with the event also including displays of car-related paraphernalia and a parade of approximately 100 classic cars from Japan, America and Europe through Tokyo's Ginza district.
To mark its 20th anniversary, the museum will display prized classic cars from its collection under the theme: "The 100-hundred-year History of Automobiles and Personal Mobility Beyond 100 Years". There will also be driving demonstrations, working-engine displays and 100-year-old classic cars driven side-by-side with the "i-REAL", one of TMC's proposals for near-future personal mobility.
