Knight of Malta










That is what you call a ground-up restoration! Check out the stripped down body on the rotisserie. Absolutely brilliant work Joseph! I hereby declare you a Knight of Malta! :)
(Notice the Malta Cross badge on the c-pillar, which was put on the cars that were locally assembled there).

Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac

Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac was the French explorer dude who founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit in 1701, the location of which is now the city of Detroit. Check out the history behind the Cadillac Shield. You see, a Paykan can teach you a lot of useful history! ;)

Bird Sanctuary

This was shot from inside of s1gunnerman's lipstick pink Hillman Hunter estate, at the time it was the only car he could afford, and he was ashamed to take any exterior photos of it! :( Birds like it though! ;)

Man in Red




I stumbled upon Jonathan Harrison's site and he kindly provided additional photos for me to post here. Jonathan lived in Iran for almost two years, between 1973 and 1975. He and his mate Karl participated in couple of rallies in 1974 with their Paykans!

Jonathan also wrote a book: "Life's Hop, Skip & and a Jump" which includes details of his experiences in Iran. Thank you Jonathan for the photos, they are simply brilliant!
