The Fiat shares plates with this 'Carreira' (?) bus, typical of Goa.

A desirably 1949/51 Chevy convertible. This is probably a car seen in multiple movies, the GDA plates being only for this film.

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

From the mid 1960's film "Jab Jab Phool Khile" starring Shashi Kapoor and Nanda. Both have passed away during recent years. Music is by Kalyanji Anandji and the playback is by Mohammed Rafi and Suman Kalyanpur. The song after 3.30 minutes need to be carefully watched for the beauties on Marine Drive, Bombay. Among the many, of a particular interest are the Hillman Minx Mark 3 Tourer (quite a few were imported in the early 1950's) and a rare, black Landmaster Traveller.

Nicely caught, thanks for sharing.

Here are some more cars seen in the film including a 1959 Plymouth - a large number of these cars were seen in period, and often in the same colour. I assume they were specially ordered for some specific purpose like tourist taxis maybe?

EDIT - I just realised the car was posted earlier by travancore, along with a sister car.

Also note the "SMALL TAXI" script on the Landmaster cab, and the Packard convertible which has appeared in multiple films.

Another sister car with Bombay plates can be seen in the 1972 movie DO CHOR.

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

Some cars seen in the film Kab, kyun aur kahan. The Karmann Ghia driven by Pran made my day, I had read earlier that he owned one as well - wonder if the same.

That is a rare American Motorette - at least 3 survive in India. This particular one it seems is the same one in the Geedee museum in Coimbatore
