Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

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.

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

@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.

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

An interesting set of proposed illustrations for a 1985 Hindustan Motors ad campaign. I wonder if any of them made it to print.

A newly restored 1977 Mark 3 in Kolkata. The car has been restored in 2016 and has been kept in this condition ever since.

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
