some of iranian a-body s

Moparmat2000:

You are correct, while the government is trying to block any western influence, the people however are doing what the love which in this case is to collect, restore and keep these great cars. and yes its always a middle finger to govt. Right now Iran is trying to impose a law to ban classic (they call them junk) cars in Iran with some restrictions on how and when they can be driven on the streets and people(Car enthusiasts) are out on the streets trying to fight to stop this stupid law....

Pre 1979, the streets were filled with mostly American cars. GM even had a branch in Iran with Pars Khodro (iranian car manufacturer at the time) assembling Buick (skylark) and Chevy (Nova) cars. I grew up driving my grandpas 63 Valiant and my dads 79 Ford Granada. Right now Iran (government subsidised companies) produces cars that they just put airbags on... LOL. for sure after 79 the country went back in time in terms of technology..
