8 Categories Of Cars Old Men Drive In Nigeria

Speaking of automobile industry, the past recorded
cars manufactured at different countries holding
some interesting memories about the shape, design
and nick name tag to these cars.
In Nigeria today, some of these cars are still seen on
the road even though it's almost extinct but most
time such cars are being driven by old men.
Such cars are as follows;
1. Beetle
This is a German car manufactured few years after
WW2. It's one of the all time most rugged car
designed by volkswagen company as it is nick named
"Ijapa" in yoruba dialect. Such cars nowadays are
driven by old men within the age range of 55 to
death do us apart.
2. Peugeot 504
This car reigned in Nigeria for decades due to its
strong body metal and compatibility to our bad
roads. It is only old men you see driving this car
nowadays with huge "agbada" attire.
3. Pick-up
This is a haulage vehicle manufactured by peugeot
company in the 50-70's. Despite the fact that it is
almost off the road, you will still see old men driving
it for business purpose.
4. Benz 80-98 model
In the olden days, anybody that is using Mercedes
benz is automatically tag a big man even up till now.
It is only old men most especially "baale or
babalawo" you still see driving the model 80-98
series. Atimes you see the car plate number
customised with their local name.
5. Nissan 120Y
This brand of car reigned between the 80's to late
90's in cities like Abeokuta, Ibadan, etc for
commercial use (taxi). It comes with different model
but the one common is "salake" as seen used by old
men recently.
6. Molue
Those in lagos can bear me witness that this brand of
bus is still driven by old men in routes like oshodi,
iyana paja, abule-egba, etc. The engine smoke, insult
from conductor and passengers make this vehicle a
dramatic experience when you board it.
7. Tipa
This is a haulage mini truck designed by Bedford to
carry loads most especially sands and rock peddles.
This is still seen nowadays on roads driven by old
men.
8. Citron
This is an Italian model bus car used for travel
purpose in the olden days. Commuter users like
Izuchukwu, Jide ofor, fear woman motors, etc used it
for long distance journey to convey passengers. You
can hardly see this vehicle on road nowadays and if
you do, only old men drive it.
You can add yours.
