Love of the old car hobby began when he was still studying in Canada in the 1970s. After returning to Indonesia, to the fore like to have an old car. Newly implemented in the 1990s when he bought an Impala, four door.
Apparently the car is the result of modification. Because after receiving the information is not in history has a four-door Impala Carbiolet. There are two doors. He was sorry and sell the vehicle.
His hobbies instead sticking to the old car in 1997, when the monetary crisis (monetary crisis) hit the Republic. When there is an effort for people to export the old car out of the country. It made him sad. Finally the old car will be exported purchased by. And in 2000 he thought of no use to have but not used.Idea to make a car museum in the area of Sentul circuit.
