MOG Belgium

Brussels was celebrating the 50th anniversary of its World Exhibition “Expo ‘58”.  To honour this event, the Belgian Organisation of Old Vehicles  BFOV / FBVA  organised a gathering for oldtimers. Priority was given to cars  of 50 years of age.   Jacques Gallien, chief editor of our Club magazine, managed to smuggle  his car right into the heart of the festivities, and this to the general satisfaction of all visitors present. Without any doubt, his position within the  MOG Belgium organisation was of great help to do so, although we could imagine that he used  his numerous professional contacts as well.
