King Faisal I's Red Ford

This car is an exact replica of the one once owned by King Faisal I, which roamed the streets of Baghdad during his official tours across the country. At the time, owning such a vehicle was a rare privilege, lending it an air of distinction and prestige.

The car is a 1926 Packard model, considered one of the significant historical and cultural symbols of modern Iraqi history. Restoration efforts began in 2020, led by artist Jasim Sukran, Director of the Tourism Exhibitions Division, alongside a team of technicians and specialists, with the aim of restoring it to its original condition.

Today, the car is on display at the Baghdad Heritage Museum, standing as a witness to a grand royal era and serving as a cultural landmark that tells a story from the elegant monarchical chapter of Iraq’s past.
