[QUOTE="cafedewheels, post: 532, member: 142"] Before that, please comment, if you know: So why did [B]NAIMA Nepal[/B] and [B]NADA Auto[/B] break up and start hosting duel expos like frenemy siblings trying to one-up each other? If you walked into [B]NADA Auto Show 2025 at Bhrikuti Mandap[/B], you’d expect the EV giants and household car brands flex their new car models. After you checked into the EV's brandlines, the spotlight got hijacked by a fleet of [B]9 vintage cars[/B] that pulled enough attention than the shiny EVs. Call it nostalgia, call it personality — but these classics had more character than half the touchscreens on display. What’s Odd? Big names like [B]Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Kia, Mahindra, Honda, MG, and Skoda[/B] etc. were completely missing. Maybe they were present at the [B]NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025[/B] ([I]if you have seen these, let me know in the comment[/I]) earlier this year, leaving NADA feeling like a half-empty dance floor. Meanwhile, the crowd at 2:30 PM told a different story — the real buzz circled around [B]BYD[/B] and [B]Suzuki[/B]. BYD pulled engagement because, let’s be honest, they’re the current EV flex in Nepal, while Suzuki brought the “reliable everyday” vibe that still speaks louder than futuristic dashboards. And why BYD? Because they’re not just selling cars, they’re selling a lifestyle pivot — EVs that feel accessible, not experimental. So, why did [B]vintage cars steal the show?[/B] And let’s be real — it wasn’t just any vintage cars stealing the show. The spotlight fell on legends like the [B][I]1955 Austin Princess DM4 Vanden Plas, 1993 Ford Model B, 1928 Ford Model A, 1960 Chrysler New Yorker, 1967 Ford Mustang, 1944 Singer AB Roadster, 1935 Mercedes 230 SL w133, 1956 Mercedes 190SL w121, and the 1970 Mercedes 280S w108.[/I][/B] Each one stood like a rolling piece of art, pulling more camera clicks and admiration than most of the EVs around. SEE PHOTOS BELOW [HEADING=3]1) 1955 Austin Princess DM4 Vanden Plas 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1955 Austin Princess DM4 Vanden Plas"]917[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]2) 1993 Ford Model B 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1993 Ford Model B"]918[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]3) 1928 Ford Model A 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1928 Ford Model A"]919[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]4) 1960 Chrysler New Yorker 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1960 Chrysler New Yorker"]920[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]5) 1967 Ford Mustang 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1967 Ford Mustang"]921[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]6) 1944 Singer AB Roadster 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1944 Singer AB Roadster"]922[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]7) 1935 Mercedes 230 SL w133 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="nada-auto-show-vintage-cars-mercedes.jpg"]923[/ATTACH] [HEADING=3]8) 1956 Mercedes 190sl w121👇[/HEADING] [HEADING=3][/HEADING] [HEADING=3][ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1956 Mercedes 190sl w121"]924[/ATTACH][/HEADING] [HEADING=3]9) 1970 Mercedes 280S w108 👇[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="800px" alt="1970 Mercedes 280S w108"]925[/ATTACH] Again, So why did [B]NAIMA Nepal[/B] and [B]NADA Auto[/B] break up? Hope you enjoyed :) ~ end [/QUOTE]
