Cars seen include this 1930s Pontiac

Thankfully the Pontiac survives in a private collection, and in great condition.

Also seen is what looks to be a Wolseley Hornet - wonder if its the same car we saw in the movie Daha Wajta in my previous post.

Both cars appear to have royal state plates, but I cannot read them clearly.

Of course, lots of nice vehicles to be seen, but most of these are what apparently catch the most attention- especially the 2 VW splitscreen buses! The taxi seems to be a Baby Hindustan, going by the windscreen. Is the red BEST bus an Albion? And the black car on the right in the pic. of the red/black VW splitscreen? Citroen Traction Avant?
And the white & navy blue one? Jaguar Mark IX?
Another car seen in Hum Hindustani is this 1946 Buick Eight

By a quirk of fate chanced upon this image of the same car, source unknown unfortunately.

Ummid, 1941 (also Ummeed?)

In this still from an April 1941 issue of filmindia we see actresses of the film Ummid alighting from a Ford V8 tourer, which must have been fairly new at the time. Unfortunately cannot find a copy of the movie.

Miss Mary (1957)

A 1954 Plymouth convertible is used, versus a 1954 DeSoto convertible used in the original 'Missamma', a Telugu movie (posted earlier).

Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars-miss-mary-2.png

The number BMZ 3704 is a dummy number also used on other American cars in other AVM movies.

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

This 1932 Ford supposedly used to belong to Dadasaheb Phalke. Can anyone find it in a film?
