Last snap form the set says the vivid interest of the family in automobiles.

Well iam restricted to share more details
HELLO FOBY,
Really happy to see that you shared my maternal grandfathers collection of cars. He was such a car fanatic. Heard lots of stories from him including a raid to madras on his matchless bike and lots of stories regarding how he bought these cars. Its my maternal home in that pic with lots of memories. Another pic with that dam background is my mom, aunt and grandmom

Had a query on this car. Would you know if this car is still based out of Tirur? Its FC seems to have expired few years back. Any pointers on location of the car would be of great help, have shared details via DM

I dont think this car belonged to them. They had a 1947BuicK which was sold way back in 2003.This car could have belonged to Unni Vaidyans family, not sure though...
