This footage is from an RTL television report filmed in Liège in 1956. A special exhibition dedicated to plastic, then still considered a new miracle material, made big waves in the post-war era.
As far as the eye could see, everything was made out of plastic at the exhibition: furniture, kitchen appliances, textiles, and even cars. The first Belgian vehicle with a coachwork entirely made out of plastic was presented to the public in Liège.
