On the eve of Leopolis Grand Prix-2015, the festival of vintage cars, you can see photos of unique retro cars in some of !FEST restaurants.

Car on the roof overlooking the city? Car on 2nd floor of a busy dining room? How did they get there? Nobody knows but they sure have exciting stories to tell.

#1. DINNER IN BMW 326

This beautiful car of 1936 is hidden somewhere in the halls of The Most Expensive Galician Restaurant. The car was BMW's first four-door sedan. After production it was an expensive car with an innovative design. BMW 326 was produced in 1936–1941 and briefly in 1945. A four door sedan model and a two – four doors cabriolet model were produced. 60% of the plant in Eisenach was destroyed during the war. Nevertheless, 3 BMW cabriolets, 18 BMW 326/2sedans were manufactured till the end of 1945.

The old Trabant (1979) differs from the others Trabant, owning a propeller and rows. According to the legend, the chimney-sweeper takes his car and fly over Lviv traffic jams when on call to clean house chimneys.

Trabant is a producer of compact cars from the Eastern Germany (a pre-war plant of "Horch" company). From November 1957 till April 1991 3 132 Trabant cars were assembled in Zwickau.

There is a handle at the rear and it allows the car to be manually moved around when required. It was assembled in 1963-1964. In 2010 Peel P50 production was reinstated in Northern England and powered by an electric motor and with a top speed of 16 km/h.
