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

Found these online. Not restricted to the '90s though.

1956 Hercules Cycles

Ads from the '90s - The decade that changed the Indian automotive industry-1956-tata-mercedes-benz-.jpg
1956 Tata Mercedes Benz price revision.
Not this is the chassis price. Body work was done (is still?) done separately. I remember my school bus (a Tata chassis) had the plaque proclaiming Ruby coach builders.

1967 Rajdoot Motorcycles.
One of friend's dad had one (not this model). It had a square fuel tank which was higher than the seat. To put it delicately, not a comfortable vehicle on bumpy roads.

1970 Indian Airlines Bombay Flight prices

I thought my mom had this when she was in college. Turns out I was mistaken. She had a Pearl Yamaha.

1980 Pan Am World Tour.
Notice the asterisk indicating conditions apply. Misleading advertising IMO.

Glad to see the helmet make an appearance in the ad.

1987 Bajaj Chetak for Rs 10,652
Back then, Chetak was for export only. Thus the mention of foreign exchange.

India goes hi-tech.

Check out the fuel prices. Good old days eh?

How many of you remember the iconic Chal meri Luna slogan?

Two more very common advts from the era. Thr KB 100 RTZ advt was mostly on the back cover of India Today and also auto magazines.

An out of the box advertisement by Bajaj Auto. It surely has imprints from Mr Rahul Bajaj's mindset, as he was in awe of the fight for India's freedom wherein his grandfather and founder of the Bajaj Group played a pivotal role.

An old Hero Honda TV advt featuring Salman Khan. This could be from the late 1980's as such stickers on the fuel tank and side panels were seen refreshed on these bikes, post- 1988.
