Classic Days at Schloss Dyck is billed as the German equivalent of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Featuring all of the same elements, a Concours show, a hill climb, and of course dressing in period-correct clothing. As you would expect there is a lot of German cars at the show, but a strong sampling of the best cars in Europe was on hand for the Concours and to tackle the hill climb.

The “American Way of Drive” as it was translated is essentially a celebration of the American culture of cruising. American flair included a classic Coca Cola truck, an Airstream trailer, hamburgers and fries served by waitresses on rollerskates while tunes played on the jukebox. But we can see that stuff here in the states any time, the Classic Days is a celebration of all things automotive. Thankfully photographer Günter Biener and Suixtil have provided us with these great photos from the event.

At first glance, Kate Cook’s artwork might seem like a paradox—a seamless blend of classic oil painting techniques with the high-octane world of automotive enamels. Her signature approach, which she calls "Artemotiv," merges the meticulous craftsmanship of fine art with the raw energy of hot rods and muscle cars. But spend a few minutes with Cook, and the paradox resolves itself into something more profound: an artist who has not only found her lane but paved it herself.
