Hama is the best place in Syria to observe the country's fleet of veteran cars though even here they are disappearing. Years of relative isolation and a struggling economy have meant that cars that elsewhere have been long superceded are kept on the road by all means possible. Big American saloons of the 40s and 50s are becoming a rarer sight, though there is a driver who works out of the Riad hotel who has an immaculate white 40s Pontiac for hire. Imagine swanning around in that - you'd feel like Humphrey Bogart or Bette Davis. There are still alot of early 60s cars around though, some lovingly tended, and some not!
