Shri Joginder Singh , then Governor of Rajasthan (1972-1977) seen here alighting to attend a CRPF function. It shows that even Governors used Ambassadors during those years, a sign of humility, but not without grace.
The pictures are from the CRPF website and have been sourced by Mr Manoj Kumar. Thanks to him.
@anjan_c2007 I am posting a pic of the 1960s Ambassador that was driven by my Dad from Margherita, Assam to Chennai in 1973. It wasn't a Landmaster as I'd initially described.
Characteristics of the inside were the ignition key on cum parking lights switch, and a pull type starter lever to start the car. The steering had the metal ring for the horn, as was the norm in cars those days.
This car remained with my aunt till 1995 when they bought a Neptune blue Omni.

The car has been repainted in its original colour, named ‘Autumn Russet’. It was not a popular colour and was perhaps factory supplied only for two years. Incidentally, the Fiats of that period also gave this colour as an option.

Another Mark 2 from Feb 1965 in Autumn Russet. This picture must have been taken later one, when the car got upgraded with Mark 3 fittings
