Some rather beautiful photographs of a Chevrolet Impala out and about in Mumbai, basking in the golden dusk sunlight.
Gotta love the fins on this land yacht!

Absolutely beautiful.

There is something about gracefully aged beauties which stand head and shoulders above restored ones

Absolutely true. Gotta hand it to the owners who painstakingly maintain their beauties over the years !

The car hasn't been seen for a while now. And no, it is not the same car. The SP car was a later model. Could not find my own photos of it but found a picture someone had sent me, don't remember who though. Attaching it for reference.

I thought the same, but later I saw a Facebook post by the owner of the Morgan replica and realized that the Wagoneer has a different owner.

Sir, I have no clue about the owner so I will not be able to comment on this.

Yes to some extent they are two different blocks but have the same bylane around a park. Both pictures were clicked in the same bylane.

Nice to see this car after over 40 years. Is it with the same family who were owning it in the late 1970s ??

At Dr. M C Modi Eye Hospital, here in Bangalore, lies this '60s Chevy C/K donated by the one of the Lions Club chapters in Alberta, Canada. It looks extremely original and interestingly, it's RHD as well!

Anyone have any info about the story of this one?

Apart from that I've also come across not one, but TWO Citroen 2CVs! The colourful one is a special edition known as the 2CV6 Dolly.

A cool find, thanks for sharing. The car is an Opel Rekord, I guess of the late 1950s? More desirable being a two door. The Chrysler badges are borrowed from a 1947 Windsor.

Thanks, I notice now one logo that I was not clear is actually rekord.
Wondering why would someone badge it like that!

Opel Rekord P2 built from 1960 to 1963. Nice find being a 2-door car. I have the next model 1964, that is an Opel Rekord Olympia R3 also a 2-door family car bought when we were kids. These cars were seen a lot in Goa. The Rekord monogram is seen on both sides along the side strips at the rear, in dunning hand.
Nice find.
