RANGOON — Rangoon’s car lovers were offered a glimpse of classic beauty over the weekend at Burma’s first ever vintage auto expo, showcasing refurbished vehicles that zipped across the city’s streets from the pre-World War II days to the 1970s.
The Myanmar Classic Cars Club rounded up more than two dozen vehicles for display, including such splendors as a 1928 DeSoto, a 1947 Austin and a 1960 Valiant.
“Our aim is to show the younger generations that our country has that kind of old, rare car, and that they have to be preserved as they are in other countries,” said Zaw Phyo Lin, the club’s secretary. “They are part of our history—they reflect Burma’s automobile status.”
