Mr. Ngo Loc, who resides in group 9, Phu Cuong ward, Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong province, shared his story of owning a vintage car. Around 30 years ago, he purchased the car from Mr. X and used it under the previous owner’s name. In 1997, he successfully changed the registration certificate to his name.
Over the years, the car aged, transitioning from its original white color to a vibrant red. Mr. Loc formed a close bond with the vehicle, relying on it for transportation and considering it a trusted companion.

During momentous occasions like the championship celebrations of the Vietnamese U23 football team, victories by the Binh Duong Football Club, or various festivals and holidays, Mr. Loc proudly parades his car on the streets, spreading joy and celebration.
This beloved car, despite its age and worn-out appearance, has played host to numerous distinguished figures, including former Chairman of Song Be province, beauty queens, actors, and many other individuals who have posed for photos with this “legendary” vintage car owned by Mr. Loc.
Particularly, during his time as a reporter for Song Be (former) and Binh Duong Newspaper, Mr. Loc often utilized the car to accompany his colleagues on field trips to different provinces and cities in the Southeast region.

Recently, the son of the car’s previous owner expressed admiration for Mr. Loc’s dedicated preservation and use of the vehicle over nearly 30 years. He even proposed repurchasing the car as a keepsake of his beloved father. However, despite the sentimental value and the car’s journey together, Mr. Ngo Loc happily agreed to return the car to its rightful owner.
