Timeless Treasures on Wheels! In the bustling heart of Hyderabad, Kerman Pestonjee’s garage is a magical portal to a world where time stands still. Imagine stepping into a sanctuary filled with classic cars and motorcycles that have witnessed the elegance and splendor of a bygone era. This vintage vehicle collection isn’t just a display; it’s a time capsule overflowing with stunning automobiles that once cruised through the illustrious days of the Nizam.
Each car and bike is more than just a vehicle; it’s a masterpiece that reflects an age when craftsmanship and artistry reigned supreme. From gleaming chrome details to luxurious interiors, these classics tell unique stories of their journeys. Lovingly maintained by Kerman’s skilled hands, each vehicle is a testament to the dedication that goes into preserving automotive history.
As you stroll down the lane near Cherman House in Abids, immerse yourself in the joy of seeing these magnificent machines on display during special occasions like Independence Day or Dussehra. Feel the nostalgia they evoke and connect with a rich heritage.
A special mention: The Harley-Davidson 1915, the Mercedes-Benz W 143 (1937, 6-cylinder), and the Humber Hawk (1947) have completely stolen my heart!
Please note: The garland on the vehicle is for the beautiful tradition of Ayudha Puja in Hyderabad, where vehicles, tools, and weapons are adorned with garlands, mango leaves, and banana saplings.
