"The people of Lebanon love life", says Ahmad Fahs. And they love classic cars, too. Ahmad calls himself an "International Classic Car Ambassador", having built his own car collection at home, buying cars overseas, and traveling extensively in Europe to learn more about his passion. He's built a local car club called "South Classics" and his Instagram @classics.with.fahsoun has a loyal following where he shares his own rides (and much more).To Westerners, Lebanon seems an unlikely place to discover a vibrant car culture, but this episode will change your viewpoint on that. It's a resilient and optimistic country where the people look to the future while respecting the past- including all sorts of automotive treasures. FOLLOW AHMAD on INSTAGRAM and YOUTUBE: @classics.with.fahsounSUPPORT THE PODCAST : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!
