paykan 47

Paykan, national car manufactured by Iran National Company, an inheritance from fathers and descendents.
What made this car so attractive today; its exemplary beauty or desirable function?
The presence of Paykan in today’s situation is like the presence of the past that will never happen in this land again and has become appealing to us.
Aghaei’s Pakan is nostalgia. It’s a happy memory of living together; what we were born with, but now has become a vague memory. In a sunny afternoon, the Aghaei family gathered together for lunch; the people who live in yesterday and stay alive by their memories; the people who can’t see the future; neither can they live in the moment. Their only remedy is recalling the past.
