Wonder if this is the same "NANDGAON-5" Dodge Kingsway we saw earlier with Khrushchev.

WBD-7562 during the 1967 Elections, Calcutta. The centre of the grille looks different (missing badge ?)

I doubt they are the same car - the WBD car has been seen on state occassions numerable times, and likely a state car. The Nandgaon car has 3 more spotlights too.

Looks like these are of the same car. Two identical cars were built by Charlesworth on the 4 1/2 Litre Daimler Straight Eight for Nawanagar.

The extra chrome trim piece at the rear may be hidden with the top down. The driver's side wing lamp seems to have a small integrated rear view mirror.

Baghat State Buick Eight

The car in Kartikeyal's picture is this Alwar Napier 60 H.P. from 1908.

We have seen a Bhopal Buick on shikar, ca 1934.

The car currently with Saif Ali Khan seems to be the same / similar

It may well be the same one - Saif Ali Khan’s paternal grandfather, married Begum Sajida Sultan of Bhopal c1939 - hence, he has a Bhopal connection as well.

Precisely, MAK and SAK were / are both Nawabs of Pataudi AND Bhopal.
