Recently, In The Northwest Province of Cambodia, Battambang surprised an old-fashioned bus that is older than Xiaobian's age shuttled through the streets, the appearance of the car was retro and sassy, and there was a lot of coming!
The car is a Cambodian stock of Angkor brand domestic car (ANGKOR), a rare sight, let's take a look at it
Local friends said that the car looks a lot like a Cambodian Angkor brand domestic car, but in fact it is not a "genuine", but a transformation of an old ordinary bus.
The car was modified in 1985 according to the Angkor license plate, and even the license plate is also early, which is simply retro.
It is said that the parts of this car are also taken from various vehicles, although not the original ANGKOR vehicle, but most of the parts are from THE ANKER CAR, and some parts are from NISSAN, KIA and other cars.
Interestingly, some of the parts were dismantled and installed from abandoned aircraft at Battambang Airport, so this can be said to be a "mixed-race" retro car.
The owner of the car is a local couple, who are not the original owners of the vehicle, but come to them after handling multiple former owners.
Although the car looks dilapidated in many places, this is not where they care, after all, for them, the historical value is the most nostalgic.
Although the appearance is old, this car can have two major functions: carrying passengers and goods.
Car owners use it every morning to pick up passengers and then drive to pick up goods in the afternoon.
It should be mentioned that as early as before the outbreak of the war, from 1958 to 1962, a small automobile factory appeared in Westport to produce Angkor brand domestic vehicles.
At that time, this kind of domestic car was also used as a bus to carry passengers, and later most people used it to carry goods.
In the beginning, Angkor cars used CITROËN engines, and then the tires used their own brands.
There is now very little left of this domestically produced car, that is, a few can occasionally be seen in Montlesser County, Battambang Province. Before the pandemic, people could see nearly 10 ANGKOR cars running down the street every day, and now only three are left.
Over time, it is often nostalgic retro objects that evoke memories. Xiaobian saw it for the first time and felt that using it as a background would definitely be able to shoot a set of very beautiful retro photos
