Re: Classics of Travancore, Cochin and Malabar

Screen grabs from Merryland produced movie - Ponkathir(1953)/Irulukku pin. Note the TCT series registration. Looks like the movie was filmed in and around Trivandrum city. This movie was Prem Nazir's fourth movie.

Re: Classics of Travancore, Cochin and Malabar

1959 Morris 1000 from Trivandrum as seen in the Malayalam movie "WITNESS".
This car was imported from Tanzania (British Africa) in the sixties, still with the original owners after going out of the state for a short period
