Which Car is this?

Hey, Spotted this car at Santacruz a few days back. But i have no idea which one is it. Looked like a fave with the Bollywood villians of the 70s.

Any idea?

Actually you are a couple of decades off.

That looks more like a Cadillac from the 90s.

That would be the Cadillac fleetwood or the Deville. I am confused now

Cyrus43 · 22nd August 2008, 17:11

That is a Late 90's Caddilac DeVille. This Should be in the Imports Section.

Due to high gas prices, USA have decided to pass on the cars they dont need to countries like India. :-)

Just opposite Santacruz Police Station I'm guessing!

Which jeep is this?
It is from the malayalam movie Summer in Bethlehem. Is it some variant of Armada. Driver seat looks lower than mahindras. Any idea

While the front fascia looks like the Armada, the wheelbase seems to be shorter, could it be just a CJ500D with a (rather badly) modified front end?
I say CJ500D because of the interior (instrument cluster), but the steering seems to be that of an Armada. Perhaps the more senior members could help.

This is an old Willys/Mahindra jeep modified with an Armada body. Guess this belongs to someone associated with the film industry as I remember seeing this in many Malayalam movies.

I'll stick my neck out and say it's an Ambassador that's masquerading as a Jeep. So the upper body is 50% CJ3B, with the facia definitely being inspired by the Armada. What gives it away is the low stance and dashboard, irrespective of it having a Mahindra steering wheel

MM540/CJ 500d 2WD with a mm540 tub, Gypsy dash, Tata mobile/Sierra windshield and frame, front bumper. The bumprette (as it was called), grill and headlights are from the Armada.
