How about 60's Fiat 850 spider. It looks similar. The three separate tail lights seems local workaround..

Indeed it is! Only thing is it has Fiat 1100 wheels which make the proportions look gawky!

I have it from one of the children of Bel Air Hotel's owners, that only "foreign" car they had in the family was a Buick 8

That's the black one now in the house of late Dr Ramachandran

While not directly tied to classic automobiles, Mr. Avarachan intriguingly recounts his experiences as a chauffeur for numerous VIPs of the bygone era.

Looks like something from Ford Australia?

Wonder if this was the one destroyed in 'Aanaval mothiram' or if this was the one abandoned behind TRV airport compound near Beemapally area circa late 2000s.

KLQ3060 Impala 2 door hardtop from an1985 Malayalam movie starring Ratheesh.
There is a Standard 2000 TCW3888 also in the same movie which seems to be a brand new one by the year in which the movie was released. This actor Rateesh was supposed to be one of the first in Kerala to acquire a Standard 2000.SO chances are high that this one could be his own car
