Of course these cars were sold in Malaysia and perhaps you can still some of them running today like there is no tomorrow..
This is my tribute to those days...
These cars are particularly from the 70's right up to the late 80's (a tribute to Uncle Lee :) )
These cars were there when I was born and they will be forever etched in my memory.
No, I never owned them myself except some Protons but that were later Protons.
My father and my uncles may have owned some of them.
Some of you who might still remember them, I am sure many have fond memories with them.
Cars do bring us back memories especially when we were young.
Not to mention that they were affordable too in those days.
Here goes the cars of those bygone era:

Lastly, any car write-up will not be complete without this legend. In the beginning it was the car nobody wanted but in the end became an automotive icon the world over.
That is the VW Beetle 1970 model...
This car is a legend and almost everybody we know had one or still has one!!
I may have missed other cars but due to the time constraints I apologize for not being able to feature them.
To all these cars, may I say thank you...for the memories...
