The original KB100 - Ad from 1988, I think:

Re: Ads from the '90s - The decade that changed the Indian automotive industry

^ You are right - this is the original KB100 in the advertisement (monogram on the oil tank panel, decals, the strap on the seat & missing X stroke sticker on the forks is the proof!). However, the year may be prior to 1988, because the model got updated to KB100 RTZ in 1988, I think. They also changed the ad showing a cheetah, to showcase the bikes' prowess....

Re: Ads from the '90s - The decade that changed the Indian automotive industry

The very first batch in 1987 had Kawasaki monogram on the tank.
Then came the one with KBajaj (this one), and then later the KB100 with the Cheetah ad,
then The RTZ with the Delta super tuned engine.

From what I remember and I could be wrong but it was DC's take on how a luxury ambassador would be.

Re: Ads from the '90s - The decade that changed the Indian automotive industry

Hello BHPians,

Here are few advertisements of cars in a travel guide book called 52 breaks for 52 weekends my dad bought just into the 2000s, (2002 if I'm not wrong). Used to open this book as a toddler to only stare at these cars for long durations, and maybe is a huge contributing factor to my love for cars.

Maruti Suzuki Alto Spin-

This appeared as an advertisement on an auto magazine. Though it was based on the then Ambassador 1800 ISZ, perhaps DC Designs could have customised only this one, featured in the advertisement. No information about more such customisations were available in auto magazines of the time as far as I can recollect.
