Geneva celebrates two important anniversaries this year: the centenary of its first national exhibition, as well as the 75th anniversary of its first international show.

This year, as part of its celebration, Geneva is branching out to include more than just cars in its exhibition: A 300-page lavishly illustrated book, two commemorative gold and silver coins, and two special stamps from the Swiss Post Office will also be available as collectible souvenirs from this year's event. So, show visitors who can't afford that $560,000 Saleen S7 can still take home another, more affordable, memento.
