We finally get a proper look at the Lea Francis car, in the movie 'Chhoti Chhoti Baatein'. The car has since been scrapped.

Karl, you have watched more movies in two weeks than I have in a lifetime. Thanks for bringing to light so many exotics though!

Hehe thankfully YouTube allows me to scroll through quickly with previews - still a tedious process but it needs to be documented for posterity. Who knows hoe long these movies will be available for free access. Might as well take advantage of the free time thrust upon me

A gorgeous 1934 Oldsmobile from Madras, looks like a doctors car, if you look closely you can spot the red cross on the windshield.
