Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

A 1947/48 DeSoto Fluid Drive is seen in the movie CID. In this scene the car plates are being switched in a bid to avoid the cops. Such a lovely original plate!

Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

A right hand drive 1941 Buick convertible is seen in Kundan. Do any cars of this configuration survive? A similar car is seen in period in Rampur state.

I do have another picture of this Chevy being used as a wedding car, will hunt for it.
The same Chevy is also seen in Raja Jani, bearing dummy red royal plates. Thankfully it is seen much more clear here.

Also seen in other movies is this 1958 Chevy Impala convertible

This 1958 (?) Buick convertible was again a popular choice for many movies, including Seeta aur Geeta and Rivaaj.

The ex Jaipur Vanden Plas Cadillac is seen clearly here, driving past Rambagh palace in Jaipur.

Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

A rare Lea Francis is seen in the movie 'Chhoti chhoti baatein' starring Motilal (wonder if it was owned by him at the time?). We assume it is the same car that was known in collector circles in bad shape and incomplete, and eventually scrapped.

Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

A chance fine - a Rolls 20hp amongst other cars is seen in the film 'Bade Sarkar'. Perhaps this is one of the Udaipur cars?

Lovely, Karl! I agree......64H9 perhaps ? Not 42G0, since the cowl top running lamp is absent.
