The new and most-happening destination the city is hosting the first-ever Burj Dubai Classic Car Show, parade and competition at Emaar Boulevard on February 27 and 28, 2009.
The classic car competition is billed to become the most competitive event of its kind in the region and will also elevate Emaar Boulevard as one of the most vibrant lifestyle destinations in the city.
Burj Dubai Classic Car Show marks the start of a year-long calendar of events to be hosted at Emaar Boulevard. The 3.5-km custom-built premise is aimed at strengthening community spirit through varied leisure activities, and will recreate the appeal of the world’s famed boulevards through retail and leisure activities.
A spectacular line-up of art, fashion, sport and lifestyle events are being planned to be held at Emaar Boulevard throughout the year.
Organised by Emaar Properties with the support of the Automobile & Touring Club of the United Arab Emirates (ATCUAE) — a member of the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA), the world-wide authority for historic vehicles — the Burj Dubai Classic Car Show will be a veritable showcase of the finest showpiece vehicles from the past decades that continue to enthrall motor-vehicle enthusiasts.
A glittering opening ceremony attended by classic car experts will mark the start of the Burj Dubai Classic Car Show. Old yet elegant, evolutionary yet functional, the participating vehicles will be displayed with a detailed description of their characteristics and ownership lineage.
Additionally, a number of classic cars will be displayed at the Grand Atrium of The Dubai Mall.
Classic car enthusiasts can also enter the competition to walk away with a number of awards.
A jury of experienced classic car experts will score each car on the basis of parameters including car originality, engine cleanliness, original car colour, historical car value, finishing and aesthetics in both categories.
The public will also have the opportunity to judge the cars and decide their favourite vehicles through a Popular Choice contest. Last date for entries is February 23, 2009 and registrations can be made online at www.emaar.ae. A highlight of the event will be a number of car parades, set to awe on-lookers.
Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties UAE, said: “A social and leisure hotspot in Downtown Burj Dubai, Emaar Boulevard is bringing in the finest boulevard lifestyle experience to Dubai. This year’s Emaar Boulevard activities are a reiteration of Downtown Burj Dubai’s appeal as the new heart of the city, and will feature an array of art and cultural activities.”
