Then, the curator of the Museum Shoaib Qureshy spoke about the event pointing out that their museum was without walls and he was grateful to NAPA for providing them with the venue. He invited CEO NAPA Jarri Masood who said NAPA was an institution that was meant to preserve the performing arts, and could relate to the Antique Cars Museum's efforts to preserve antique cars. He pointed out that NAPA is housed in the Old Hindu Gymkhana building that was constructed in 1925, the year when the oldest car on display here was launched, and the latest car belonged to the year 2005, when NAPA was founded.
