Yangon’s auto aficionados rev up at classic car show

Yangon’s car lovers were offered a glimpse of classic beauty over the weekend at Myanmar’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, according to The Irrawaddy.

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.

The event also coincided with a motorcycle show featuring a range of new high-end bikes along with a few vintage models, such as a pre-war BSA.

The Myanmar Classic Cars Club was founded in 2010 by a group of amateur collectors in Myanmar.
