More Burgundy








I Have featured this amazing looking Paykan with basket weaves wheels before. This car is like a time capsule, it has all the correct badges and trim, just like how it left the IranNational factory before the Revolution.

The badge on the front door says Paykan, which means Arrow in Farsi. You non Farsi speakers, I guess you probably figured it out by yourself, didn't you? There is an arrow going right through it! :) After the 1979 revolution Paykans got de-contented, they lost most of their chrome and embellishments, so the older models are desirable and a clean one like this is very hard to find.
Ah... forgot to mention that the "Persian Rug" floor mats were not factory option. ;)

Special Thanks here to AmirPaykan for the photos. Agha Khielie Mokhlesim!
