From what I can make out, looks like MDR 200, a 1933 Chevy that was restored by our fellow tbhpian DKG, owned by the TVS family.

You are going to see a lot of the TVS Chevy in Hyderabad for the next few months I guess. Now with a brand new head, DKG must be having a blast

"TVS Chevy" I love this new title. I have seen a similar car flying sometime last year around Golkonda fort road however I am not sure was it this car or some other I vaguely remember but it was in silver color, boy that was an awesome sight she was so silent and fast made my bolero shy.

i think its much easier to put in ventiports on fenders than to change grille/bumper/shape of a car! kasli is right, its a 1947/48 (trim differences only between the two years) Buick which is a distinctly differently shaped car to the 1949. the ventiports were also available as an after market accessory and that's what this car probably has.

Re: Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

The car in question is a 1948 Buick Roadmaster convertible. It is an all original car with the addition of the "portholes" being a later addition.

The car even features power windows and a power top as well. Very unique for that age of car.

Chevrolet impala. Our family used to have one way back in the mid 70s. 8 cyl petrol car. Absolute monster to run and to maintain (or so i have heard... never really remember the car). It was sold to some gentleman and when i saw it some 15 yrs later, it had an amby diesel engine in it. Pitiful sight, cause the engine struggled massively to push this behemoth. Its probably scrapped now.

Re: Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

This 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster in Bangalore was on sale for quite some time. Sold last week to Mumbai, I understand

Found this pic. of a Triumph Spitfire in the site mentioned below:




Spitfire

Appears to be in Rajasthan. The bonnet badge seems to be from a Standard 10!

Anyone from over there know this car??

Pug in Mumbai !!

Saw this nice Peugeot 404 at a service station at Tardeo, Mumbai.

Long time since I saw a 404, didn't even know any survivors. This one's Goa registered, though..
