The 1950s car turning heads in Syria – BBC News Video News
Neither war nor the Islamic State group has stopped Abu Malek driving his 1952 classic car across Syria.
The 67-year-old DeSoto Powermaster is a bit worse for wear, but still works.
Fifty years ago, the petrol engine was switched for a British tractor engine.
Before the most recent war, when fuel was better quality, Abu Malwk says it could reach 140km per hour.

Stupid to destroy that unique engine sound with an annoying tune
Cute story may God bless you and your car. May Jehovah help the people of Syria may Syria call upon Jehovah to give them wisdom and guidance and his blessing to help them seek his love and rightouseness with his blessing.
Perfect car for bigger bombs thicker metal not like the new ones made out of plastic
From an era of white supremacy and evil male patriarchy, scrap it.
Now if only those violent refugees got their act together and moved back to the country to rebuild it, maybe these middle Eastern countries wouldn't become failed States.
the suicide doors are perfect for the suicide society.
Nice car!
Really, this is news now😳
BBC never reports about the 600k killed in Syria ? This is a silly car story.
the name of the music..???
All the shit the UK and US did running and supporting ISIS. Real Journalist like Eva Bartlett doing real reporting. This is what BBC talking heads come up with? Waste of skin.

Getting irrelevant
Back when they built real cars made to last. No computer chips. Good find and it has a better crash test rating for sure. You see the trunk ? Looks like a mini apartment. Hurray for the classics.
BBC will be exposed on the 23rd of February
Subscribe to Tommy Robinson if you want to see.
When will Syrian "Refugees" be sent back to rebuild their country?
Not even a DeSoto, It's a hunk of antique scrap metal with a junk diesel in it, big deal..
2,000 goats, 500 cows, and 23,000,000 chickens later.
War bless you " WOLD CAR "

Why many people in the comment aren’t happy to release good news rather then war.
This is the Kurdish controlled areas Syria. The Kurds worked hard to create peace in the region. But the Jihadi Turkey/Erdogan/ISIS is trying to create war against the peaceful and heroic Kurds who destroyed ISIS.
Toyota: Our vehicles last 20 years !
This guy: . _.
Drop in a 454 Chevy, supercharger, fuel injection dodge the bullets.
so its 65 years old, half a century ago its engine was replaced so the original engine failed just 15 years in? So moral of the story is British diesel engines from that era are pretty unkillable.
More to the point why did ISIS apologise to Israel when they accidentally shelled the Syrian southern border???
That's really cool. The cars going back years ago seemed to have a lot more style and really unique design elements to them, like little works of art. I think they are much more interesting to look at than the cars of today.

We must keep ALL our children safe from peadophiles.
Cars like that are adored also in Indonesia. Some are even put in museums
Not so subtle propaganda with a car story providing a puddle to float it in.
The BBC must think the people who watch this are very stupid or the BBC are so deranged, they can't see that they are both distrusted and a laughing stock.
Full overall 😆.👍 Thank's 🚘♨
Propaganda
"If I take good care of my car I can drive another 50 years" … This looks about the most unloved car on the planet. Carrying out the bare minimum maintenance to keep it running is not the same as taking good care
In the hope of a better tomorrow!
