Ram,
I think you have mistaken this Belair with the concourse Belair which is part of the 3 classics owned by the same family .Those cars are still in concourse condition.
This belair is the only classic car in that garage and is located near the Railway station

this 62 Chevrolet belair hardtop sedan appeared in many Malayalam movies of the 80's. Seems to be a Coimbatore registered car

ajay99 · 24th August 2018, 19:59

This desoto convertible KLT-203,appeared in a Malayalam action movie of the eighties.
Have never seen this particular car in any other movie.Although the registration is from Trivandrum, unless it is a pre55 car the plate shown need not be the original one

ajay99 · 26th August 2018, 11:27

Another American Barge which appeared in the 1982 Malayalam movie "KENI"
Fancy number-555.This is a station wagon variant. Is it a Ford Falcon ?

ajay99 · 28th August 2018, 19:00

the seventies and eighties Malayalam movies were replete with high end cars of that era.
Here is a w115 from the movie' Arambam' and the w110 fintail from the superhero JAYAN's 'MEEN''

ajay99 · 28th August 2018, 20:06

Karman Ghia from the Malayalam Movie "MEEN""
Maybe it still survives
also a modified standard herald ??

ajay99 · 2nd September 2018, 11:03

A seventies Toyota Crown and Toyota Corolla from the same movie 'MEEN'

It was originally a Herald that came to Trivandrum in this modified version in the late 1970s. It used to belong to some one with some filmi and Quilon Cashew connection, if I am not mistaken.

The famous MG-A from the Malayalam movie "TRISHNA".
Originally from a royal stable in Karnataka, it landed in Quilon in the mid seventies, went out of the state sometime in the early nineties.
Anyone know the present whereabouts of this KLU-112??

1947 Singer KRT-263 from the MohanLal movie "Kattethe Kilikoodu"
