Peykan is childhood it is not a car , it is an image where the solace happens . Well , enough said here ! Apart from the cheesiness of the above mentioned statement there is a truth about it right away . I thought in the past what makes a car so endearing . But now after having read Susan Sontag I would say , anything getting old would become nostalgic and a piece of art . But is that all about it for an art scholar ? Maybe , but not for everybody . It is pretty much so that anyone who has felt the nostalgia or driven could comment differently on this . For me personally , it has been a second hand memory and a part of my mother ' s life in Iran . She drove it , we as her kids saw her photographs , and we heard stories of the car when it was still in production that how bad it is . But after the production stopped people turned their backs to the criticism and the car was called the industrial revolution of half a century . People compared the car to Daewoo and the owner etcetera . But now it is none existence but only in the literature .
