"Kuwait Science Club" held this amazing show for historic cars mostly owned by our Prime Minister, and our late Amirs (rulers/presidents, we call them "Amir").
Also the show features some american muscle cars, old pick-up trucks, famous cars from the 50's like the SL300 Gullwing, Ford Thunderbird and more.
Hope you like the cars, and of course all comments / informations are appreciated.

That's interesting. Thank you for posting.
On this topic, do you have any idea whether any and if so how many, royal cars disappeared during the brief Iraqi occupation?

Sweet! somebody tell Dary! I must say although this is a pretty impressive single-owner collection, the cars that park up at the Hardrock Cafe some evenings for those impromptu gatherings put this bunch to shame. Nevertheless thanks for an awesome post b09agr. Hey what happened to your car blog, didn't you have a blog once? I liked that blog. Cool cars on that blog.

Also, why is the car in the second pic burnt? story?

An interesting group of cars, some of which I'd never imagine in an Amir's collection.
The Rolls and Mercedes make sense, maybe even the American iron... but the pickups?
In post #3 is that a converted Humber Hawk Estate? Very cool, looks like it may even be 4X4. Land Rover chassis, maybe?

- Only the Rolls Royces and some few cars are belong to the Prime Minister or the late Amirs (Sheikh), most of the cars here belong to members of Kuwait Science Club.

- The gathering near Hard Rock Cafe is for muscle cars and super cars (like lambos and ferraris), you may find some vintage cars there but not as this collection.

- I still have the blog, but I don't have the time for it, sorry.

- The burnt car was Kuwait's first Taxi Cab, it's a scrap!!

you're welcome, and judging from these pictures I don't think many cars (if any) disappeared during the invasion.
