I believe that Hindustan 10 also came with artillery wheels. Didn't they?

At first all I knew was International harvester Metro van from same era as a friend has a scale model. But upon comparing, I had to use google search to find out the actual one.

The caption says Mekedatu which is about a 100 KM from Bangalore after the confluence of the two Cauvery and Arakavati rivers.

The vehicle must have crossed the dry/shallow river bed to make it there.

Somehow I'd imagine it must have been far more exciting (an adventurous) to make a 100 km trip in a vehicle/car 60 years back on those non-existent roads compared to these days where everything feels routine and boring.
