Is this "landmaster" lettering on the fender the right one(font)? The font I've seen for the letters is different and more like the "Ambassador" font used later. Did the style change during the production period?

The logo is not original. So are the rear taillights and wiper assembly.

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

I love the Ambassador/Landmaster cars. So much so that my user ID in this forum is also based on it 😬

I was at the Ambassador hotel in Sujan Singh Park, Central Delhi yesterday, a place that is steeped in history. Guess what I found? Here is a picture with the art deco architecture for background

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

This lovely very original Mark2 from a long term ownership of a Parsi family in Bangalore came home last week. Owned by a Bhpian now and at my home for a while.

Posted by Mr Kiran Karthik in Vintage Motor Vehicles page saying, "Old Ambassador car from My father-in-law's (in suit) wardrobe when he was in Army services. "
(Image shared by Mr Manoj Kumar on Ambassador FB page)
The officer is a Major General (two stars displayed on the flag car) and was registered in 1973.

Additional information upon observing the above photograph.
1. The gentleman is a Major General from the Army Medical Corps.
2. The dignitary is not in his station of posting(I know the appointment and the place, but shall not mention here). He is visiting a small station to inspect a Military Hospital.
3. The staff car is allocated to the Commanding Officer(the[red] light on the top of the car) of the Military Hospital(MH plate on the bumper) and is ferrying this gentleman presently during his visit in the station.
4. The crest on the caps of the uniformed men also depict the Medical Corps.
