The 1980 Hindi film Khubsoorat has several street scenes from Pune in the last 4 minutes, mostly from the WestEnd and Rly Stn areas. Below are some pics of PMT buses of those days, from those scenes ...

Calcutta, 1968.
The Ambassador on the far right seems to have chrome bodyside mouldings.

Is that a dual tone Landmaster on the far right, or is the shadow playing tricks on me ?

That looks more like a Standard Pennant to me.

Definitely dual tone - and Landmaster - Dual tone LMs were there as original option, weren't they

Landmasters were in fact never available in factory painted dual tone shades.

Below: An image (high resolution scan though) of the Connaught Place, New Delhi from the early 1960's in a Department of Tourism, Govt of India brochure. Sadly, I could not find any other good car pictures in this 12 page colour brochure. Important to note are the two metallic factory shades of the Fiat Select, as seen on the twosome in the foreground. There used to be a third, light green metallic shade available for the Select.

I believe the first gold colour seen was called 'Tampico Beige' - subject to correction.
