A 1956 Plymouth Savoy. Note the accessory oversize horns mounted on the front fenders - a similar car does appear even now at events in the region - wonder if its the same.

A 1940 (or so) BUICK SPECIAL 8 (or CENTURY) Convertible Coupe with dual wing mounted spare wheels from the 1960 Tamil movie KAI RAASI starring Gemini Ganesan and Saroja Devi. The song KANNNUM KANNNUM PEYSIYATHUM is available in YouTube and the link is,

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

Several classic cars can be seen in short scenes in the 1964 Hindi movie "April Fool" starring Saira Banu and Biswajit. The Registration Nos are clearly visible on most of the cars. So if anyone is interested in investigating, the movie is available in the site "Dailymotion" in 5 parts though the video quality is poor. (Please note that I have grouped different shots of the same car into a single picture so as to identify the car easily.)

The video in the above post is no longer available. The message shown is "Video unavailable - This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been closed.". But I saw that the video of the song is still available in YouTube, the new link is given below.

I realised that most of the cars shown in my above post have already appeared in an earlier post by Stanher on 2nd April 2015, 23:28. My apologies for the duplication. The images in Stanher's post are of much better quality.
Also, better photos of the Herald can be seen in earlier posts by anjan and glomus123.

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

The very often played song still in 2021, in most marriage functions though often instrumentally, shows quite a few cars tarting with a Chevrolet Impala (could be 1960) in the video. It shows a marriage procession. It's from the 1970 movie Sachaa Jhutha starring Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Khanna and Mumtaz.

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

A dream song sequence "Sakkarakatti Rajathi" in a vintage tourer from a 1966 Tamil movie "Petralthan Pillaiya" starring MGR and Saroja Devi. The Registration No. (not clear) appears to be MDI 346. The YouTube link for the song is given below.

In case you would like to have a better quality view of the car, the full movie is available in YouTube and the song starts at time 1:29:33.
There is also another bigger car (MSZ 1843) in the movie (shown in the photo).

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

Rajendra alias Jubilee Kumar with Nanda in a gorgeous 1955 Chevrolet Belair. Worth noting is the factory two tone paint scheme. The rear portion is fully white. The first and the last minute of this song from Dhool Ka Phool (1959) with music by N. Datta (name Datta Nalwade) show the Belair in action.

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

Anyone has posted about the 1965 classic Waqt ? That one has a bevy of 4-wheeled beauties , including a well-shot (for its time) car race.
