Yesterday, numerous owners and enthusiasts of classic cars gathered on the premises of Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG). The reason for the meeting was the planned classic car convoy from Giessen to Wettenberg/Krofdorf-Gleiberg. The convoy of over 30 classic cars set off at 11 a.m. for the 16th Golden Oldies Festival. The convoy was led by the mayor of Wettenberg, Gerhard Schmidt. The two board members of SWG, Manfred Siekmann and Reinhard Paul, also took part in the journey in a collector's item. The two SWG board members travelled to Krofdorf-Gleiberg in a Mercedes Benz 170 S Cabrio B with 52 hp and an engine capacity of 1767 cc. The vintage car from 1950 belongs to Frank Werner from Linden. This was the third time that the classic car convoy had been organised by the energy supplier for the traditional festival. The classic car owners were enthusiastic about the idea of travelling to Wettenberg in a convoy. This weekend, the attention of the SWG management was focussed on the classic cars and their technology from times gone by, and the vehicles set off with the classic car convoy on the last day of the three-day festival in Wettenberg. The motto of this year's traditional event was "Schlager, Beat and Wirtschaftswunder".
