The 15th Annual Vintage and Classic Car Show unfolded with grandeur at the historic Qila Bala Hisar and Peshawar Services Club.
Organised by the Culture and Tourism Authority in collaboration with the Pakistan Army and Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North), the event offered an unforgettable blend of automotive history, cultural celebration, and entertainment.
The showcase featured an impressive lineup of vintage cars dating from 1935 to 1980. Iconic vehicles such as Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Ferrari, Cadillac, Porsche, MG, Chevrolet, and Mustang adorned the event. Enthusiasts of rare Vespa scooters also made their mark, celebrating the beauty and nostalgia of these classic rides.
Adding to the charm, traditional Pashtun cultural performances, including soulful Rabab music and a mesmerizing Khattak dance, captivated the audience. These performances highlighted the rich heritage of the region, blending the past with the present in a seamless and joyous celebration.
The event also served as a prelude to an epic road journey. The classic cars will travel across Pakistan, passing through Islamabad, Faisalabad, Rahim Yar Khan, Moro, the Thar Desert, and finally, Karachi, showcasing their timeless appeal to enthusiasts and admirers across the nation.
Participants expressed deep gratitude to the Pakistan Army, Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North), and other stakeholders for organizing such a spectacular event. The message of peace and cultural harmony resonated strongly throughout the show.
