They love old fiats, Trans-Ams, and classic European and American metal. Is that a Skyliner?

These photos were taken during a classic car show this weekend at Teheran's Niavaran palace. There were approximately 60 cars on display from individuals, private collectors, and even the ousted Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's own personal ride.

Apparently, they're working up a car specifically for the ladies. The car will be based on the existing Samand line but will offer brighter colors, softer lines in the interior, a rear-seat DVD player for the kids, parking assistance, and a flat-tire monitor among other features. Re-read that list, and you'll realize that Iran apparently considers practically every car for sale in the US to be a ladies' model. Oh man, Toby Keith is going to be totally pissed.
