Thought the HAMB members might like some of these pictures. Our local Bikers Cafe reached out to the car community this weekend to host a classic car get together. Dubai Police turned up with their Ferrari FF and Aventador, and closed the street for us so we had room to park our cars in a space otherwise intended for cars. Americana was definitely the flavour of the day with some europeans in the mix. Hope you guys like them [/img]http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/474304_10151434537462647_655269632_o.jpg[/img] Love the Mo Money shirt More pics in part 2...
I have to stay I'm impressed. I have never been to Dubai but have been to Doha, Qatar and I sure never saw any '59 Caddies tooling around there. It's Americanized in alot of ways also. Is it natives with these cars or implants?
2 of them are owned by local Emiratis - 1 of them - the red one - is owned by a white guy with blonde hair. Me Our classic car group has a great mix of locals and expatriates
These things tend to be announced maybe a week before they happen. You can try shooting me a PM closer to the time
I am currently in Kuwait and have yet to see a classic or hot rod rollin' down the road here. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
That is awesome to see your car submitted by someone else over there. I see there is also a DUBAI HAMBERS social club, I find that very interesting congrats to you guys for bringing it world wide. OPS. Great pics, Thanks. Larry
Trust me they have them. I was staying a Movin Pic about a year ago. A block away are some outdoor cafes. I was eating outside one weekend and up rolls a very traditional t bucket and a cool custom, 54 chevy if I remember right. I was very surprised and happy to see them.
A friend road-tripped from the Nurburgring in Germany to Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi as part of a PR thing for Cadillac (yes, I'm extremely jealous that he gets paid to do things like this) but he said the car scene in Kuwait was very cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTxNmacXchU&feature=share&list=PLNg59uLlxnFERaCVNHKldxBFULEZClNpA Speaking to him after though - basically said you just need to know which diners and so on the groups gather at - and the weekend evenings are just alive with old school americana. Maybe a lot more 60s and 70's muscle than you might find on the HAMB but still some cool rides.
I have a few friends from - and in - the far east. They say most of these "American Icon" cars are imported - as is - by locals. I'd guess 90% european supercars, 9% high-dollar muscle, 1% other. Pretty rare to see anything even remotely HAMB-friendly. Very cool set of pics though (and very well shot) - thanks for sharing!
Dubai is one of my favorite places, but rarely see cars like this when I am there, really appreciate your posting this pictures...
theres quite a museum in dubai,, and there's a 61 caddy convert always parked outside the movenpick..I love that car- reminds me of grandpa
Yep - Was recently in the hospital near that hotel and that caught my eye... Busy traffic in that part of town though - wouldn't take my one there!
