The first car is in fact a Toyota. It's a 1955-1957 Toyopet Crown, the 1958 model got a redesigned front end that did not have the mustache like grille of the first 3 model year cars. (1955 Model pictured).

This gentleman belonged to perhaps the wealthiest family in Meerut and had many businesses in Meerut , Delhi and Bombay. This car was in Meerut and I have seen it taken care of along with many fine cars the family owned. My brother was in the Auto insurance business and showed me the papers showing ownership of the car - Miss Nawab Begum. The car is a 1947 model and may have belonged to some princely state or wealthy owner prior to ownership of Miss Nimmi . This story throws some light on the background of this magnificent car. In Meerut, next to our home was a auto workshop that took care of this family's cars. I was about 14 years old, and very interested in cars. I saw this Caddy at close quarters - it was of course LHD , .a Flathead V8 , two speed automatic, and a working AM radio.

In the film Pehli Jhalak we see an identical car, including details like the twin shikaar lights, AA badge on the side of the grille, and marker poles on both fenders. It has to be the same car, and now we know the registration was BMZ. I'm told the car was sold to Delhi in the 70s, current fate unknown. It was also seen in Humdard

So coming back to Bollywood and their cars, Sanjeev Kumar aka Haribhai Jariwala had some good cars. From a White Bay window VW Microbus (which almost every actor/actress worth their salt had to have - and which are now replaced by Vanity vans) to an automatic beetle ( he had two one was manual) to a Karman Ghia (also automatic).

This Type 34 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is seen in two of Sanjeev Kumar's movies, so I assume it is his own car.

Besides Paras, seen here in Door Nahin Manzil (1973)
