Insane Car Collections At History Con 2016

Live History, Feel History, See History! The first and absolutely one of a kind convention was recently held here in Manila. History Channel Asia just had their very first History Convention and we are very lucky that they have chosen Philippines as their venue! It is basically a four day event (held from August 25-28) which features exciting exhibits , interactive experiences, on ground activities, contests and of course, special celebrities from History channel including Giorgio Tsoukalos of Ancient Aliens.

History Con is not just about History Channel alone, they are really aiming to make history as they tried to break three world records including the longest tv marathon and the largest serving of mushroom dish. Over 50,000 people attended the said convention and considering that it was their first in the country, the amount of attendees are truly overwhelming.

One of the greatest highlights of the events are the huge collection of cars and vehicles on display. I think the exhibit of cars were done to promote one of their new shows, the Celebrity Car Wars, a reality series that features a great ensemble of celebrities and expert racers including Bobby Tonelli, Allan Wu, Andrea Fonseka, Joey Mead King, KC Montero, Marc Nelson, Piyawak Kempetch, Michele Bumgarner, Gaby Dela Merced and Alex Yoong. In fact, these cars occupied most of the exhibitors area and so I decided to put them all in a separate entry.

It is very interesting to note that my online job is about cars so even though I don’t know how to drive, I am somehow exposed in such matter. The first thing that took my attention are these muscle cars! It’s very rare to see American Muscle cars here in our country so these cars truly blown my mind!
These classic cars were brought by Classic Speed Restorations. They are specializing restoration of 1960s classic cars.
