This picture is perfect for this thread, a street scene from Delhi supposedly from 1939. How many cars can you spot ( in full or partial view ) ?

One could rent this nifty old truck (already probably 10 years old at the time of publication) for your advertising needs.

Hi.
In the 1950's double decker buses with a similar grill used to ply. Logo was Regal. Is it possible to know the date of the pictures ? Maybe there were single deckers before 1950 so I wouldnt know. I started travelling in BEST buses around 1956.
Regards

This bus is a Dodge Forward Control and was made by PAL since the mid 1960's for about seven to eight years. It was available as a truck and bus chassis.
