Syrian car collector returns to Aleppo to care for the remains of his fleet
By Joel Stocksdale Autoblog
We all like to think we're pretty serious car enthusiasts, but it takes a special kind of dedication to preserve and maintain a car collection in the middle of a war zone. Mohammed Mohiedin Anis has that special dedication. According to the AFP news agency, he has been doing his best to keep his collection intact for more than a year as the battle for Aleppo has raged on.
He would hide seats and steering wheels as a theft deterrent, and from a video the agency shot just over a year ago, he would still try to keep them cleaned and cared for as best as he could. His cars still suffered damage, as shown by bullet holes in his Hudson, but he did his best. He eventually had to leave for a while when the fighting got worse.

Really found this story moving, his American cars mean a lot to him. And who knows, they might have really shined and gleamed before the war.
