Quaid-e-Azam was a man of style, and his art of living was a true example of his rich taste and sophistication. We were honoured to have a sneak peek of our founder’s car and many other vintage beauties with historical importance.

So, if you share a common passion for classic cars, fasten your seat belts as we are sharing German, American, and British historical wheelers all in one place in today’s blog.  

Jinnah’s Rolls Royce

This Rolls Royce of 1947 holds importance from two different perspectives. It was initially designed for Queen Elizabeth’s tour to the sub-continent, but when the tour got canceled, this vintage wheeler was bought by the Quaid e Azam for his personal use. It was a hand-built car with inverse doors. The first Governor General of Pakistan used it for his daily commute. It is preserved in original condition with a wooden interior, working tray, footrest, armrest, sofa seats, and a window with a private cabin.

Jaguar E-Type

This was a 1966 model with an in-line 4.2 engine. It was a coupe version whereas a convertible variant was also an option in the 60’s. It was a beautiful shape with a unique rear design. Having a wooden interior with water, oil, and pressure gauges it looks like a cockpit. However, its roof lining was restored with Alcantara. And the center-positioned exhaust makes its exterior worth watching.

Corvette 1958

Moving on to the American vintage beauty, a Kawasaki 1958 classic with manual transmission and a V8 engine. Two of these Corvettes came to Pakistan; one was destroyed in an accident, but the other was preserved in its genuine form. It was definitely a history preserved with a red interior, antique speedometer, dual exhausts integrated within the bumper, non-conventional wheel arches, and a uniquely positioned rear glass view mirror.

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

The Karmann Ghia looks exactly like a Porsche. It was a left-hand car originally driven by a lady who worked in the German embassy—featuring a red interior, a 1300 CC engine, and a manual transmission.

All of these vintage cars were preserved to keep their historical presence alive. If you liked reading this blog, let us know in the comment box blog or head on to PakWheels’ official website to read more.
