I do remember 501 as well.

1234 also was sold to some one in Chennai - as a result of the first huge hike in petrol prices in India which was in the early 1970s where Petrol went up from around INR 1.25/litter to circa INR 3/litter in Trivandrum.

What was Omar Khayyam, and where was this?

Cheers harit

Hi Sir,

Omar Khayyam was an author who wrote a book called "Rubaiyat" which was a collection of poems, remember this name as it was frequently mentioned at home by my aunts when i was young, there must be a copy of the book somewhere at home. Confirmed the same with a search in google as well. May be it was some kind of a play based on the book, thats how it looks like in the picture. My two bits.

regards,

Srinand.

The lady also had a 1948 Cadillac (KLT-690 ? or some 3 number combination of those). Car was sold in Bangalore by her nephew in the late 70's / early 80's. In fact, KLT-501 was bought to replace it, after uncle died and she did not want to be associated with the car.

I was just born too late to have saved some of these family beauties

Ram,
I knew exactly which Chevy you were referring to. In fact I think I have seen both cars side by side (unless my old brain is now playing tricks on me).

KLT-501 holds special memories, Dad learned to drive in it, besides driver Sankara Pillai. I remember crushing my younger brother's fingers between those massive doors!

My Mom's side also had a 1951/52 - should have been registered KLR-something. It was black and spent most of the time at their estates in Kanjirapally and Devikulam. Again sold mid-70's.

The picture could be of a participant of the "Puli Kali" (Tiger/Leopard Play) of Kerala, which is performed in Central & North Kerala during Onam festival and in Southern Kerala during Muharrum as well....The Car - It looks like a 1949 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe . It reminds me of a similar car ....Best Regards & Drive/Ride Safe Ram

Hi travancore, I did notice! And hopefully this car is one of those mentioned in the posts above.

Did you notice the war paint on the fenders? It seems that cars upto UP had war paint on mudguards, also in Agra as seen on a Morris I posted in another thread, Kolkata was not the only place to have this.

This is a Bedford bus, Ceylon Tours were quite popular for touring Sri Lanka.

See the flipped picture - now its right side and only Harits wm is now wrong.

OK from this we can see its a RHD. So its not 1234 as it was a LHD. I don't remember about 501 though (ll this assuming its a TVM/Kerala Picture)

KLT-501 was RHD. It did not have the sun visor though (at least when I used to see it). It did have rear wheel spats.

[harit]

OK, the Chevy picture in correct perspective. I was forced to learn about flipping an image, its so easy.

These two pictures are a puzzle, some tantric rituals, or what? And the car may be a pre war Morris?

Cheers harit
