America Flexes Its Muscles in Iran!

By

November 16, 2010

Local vintage American muscle cars come out in force for The First Isfahan Classic Cars Rally.

Organized by Chapter President Ali Samandarian, who owns a pair of Chevy Bel Airs, their Rally attracted a wide range of vehicles, including classic American muscle cars. The Isfahan Chapter is one of a number of single and multi-marque clubs linked to the Classic Car Committee of the Motorcycle and Automobile Federation of Iran. These enthusiast auto clubs are located in every major population center in Iran.

The ancient city of Isfahan, once the capital of ancient Persia, was the venue for the Isfahan Classic Car Chapter’s first road rally. Four hundred years ago, Isfahan was larger than London and more cosmopolitan than Paris!

Ramin Salehkhou, organizer and manager of the Tehran Café Racers, is the President of the national body that is patterned after the FIA model. He sent us the info and photos that were taken by Ali Samandarian. The winner of the inaugural event was a slick white-vinyl-top, blue Pontiac Grand Prix.
