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

From the film Chhaya

A 1949 Buick 8 is seen with a UP registration - I suspect this is a car seen in many films shot in Madras, bearing a fake plate

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

From the movie Meherban

Being an AVM production, this is likely to be their own car, MSZ 9400, now in a private Bangalore collection. This BMZ 3704 number was also seen on their Buick in the movie 'Bhai Bhai'

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

From the film 'Achanak'

A Tata bus makes an appearance briefly, but if you look closely it is the same bus from the iconic 'Bombay to Goa'

Thank you for sharing these. You have been sharing alot since the past few days. Have you been binge watching classic movies since the past few days? And do you watch them just for the cars ?

Watching them just for the cars thankfully youtube allows previews while navigating, making it quicker.

Here is a Studebaker taxi seen in Anhonee

A really desirable car, a Fiat 2300S Ghia coupe. Wonder what happened to it. I vaguely recall someone telling me that the Godrej family used to have one?

From the older Shatranj (1956) we get many glimpses of the ex Baroda Rolls-Royce Phantom III that is currently being restored in Delhi. Unfortunately a very poor print.

Going by the curved bumper, front quarter glass, tail lamp and body side moulding, BYF-3108 is likely a 1935 Buick Rumble seat convertible.

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

Another Anhonee starring Sanjeev Kumar

Seen here is a Sunbeam Alpine, and a 1951/52 (?) Chevy convertible that has been customised including Dodge Kingsway tailfins grafted onm, and perhaps a DeSoto grille?
