Big Cruising: American Parade on Lake Zurich
WHERE TO MEET The Brooklyn - American Classics Garage invites you to the first Big Cruising around Lake Zurich on the weekend of July 18 and 19. The event is open to American vehicles up to 1979.

Since the Cruising has neither a starting point nor a destination and, as at the usual meetings, there is no fixed meeting point, the Cruising can be carried out despite the Corona restrictions.
Crossing by ferry Horgen-Meilen
The focus is on the joy of cruising. As the route is driven in both directions, participants will encounter as many cars as was often the case in Switzerland until the 1980s. A special highlight is the crossing of the lake with the ferry Horgen-Meilen.
Formations with a maximum of eight vehicles
All traffic rules must be observed for cruising. Burn-outs are strictly prohibited and will be punished.
On the route that runs through the canton of St. Gallen (Seedamm & Rapperswil-Jona), there is also the restriction that only convoys with a maximum of eight vehicles are permitted. A distance of three minutes must be maintained between the convoys.
If this should not be possible, it is necessary to turn around in Pfäffikon (in front of the Seedamm) and in Feldbach (Hombrechtikon) at Hans Heiri's Restaurant....
Road cruisers, pony and muscle cars
Roadside visitors will have the opportunity to see the street cruisers, pony and muscle cars in action.
On the website there is a list of restaurants that support cruising. Booking a table early makes sense in any case.
Maintenance and the restorations
The garage at Seestrasse 18 in Horgen specializes in the maintenance and restoration of US cars from the 1940s to the 1970s.
Founders Roli Isler, mechanic Pablo Brügger and Brooklyn co-owner Johannes Brügger are dedicated to preserving old American cars.
