This is Okpara Avenue, I can spot the old Kingsway building, most of the colonial activities were concentrated around this area back then.. classic

I know nothing about classic cars, perhaps mix of coverts, Renault and Citroen cars.. cheesy

Enugu in 1959 is even more better than Kwara in 2018. I just image how Kwara will look like in 1959.

AutoJoshNIG:
Let’s take a trip down memory lane .

These are photographs taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while on a research in Enugu state, Nigeria in the year 1959.

These pictures contain some scenes from the street of Enugu.

In the pictures, we also see some cars on the street.

Back in those days, these cars, as seen on the streets, were the then "latest" cars. Today, they are classified as vintage cars.

So, can you identify any of the cars on the street by their brand names?
