On some of the pictures, the car's registration begins with with “MH”, so I'd say Maharashtra, probably in and around Bombay/Mumbai.

Back in the eighties I used to tell Americans one of the reason the Chevrolet Caprice sold so poorly in Japan is because the Japanese make their own (slightly smaller) Caprice for domestic...
While I'm not easily swayed by the Gallic unconventionals and am quite indifferent to the Renault Mégane, VelSatis, and other Avantimes, I really like the Citroën C6. It's distinctive and...
Thank you McLareN, great looking pictures.
The hatch à la Renault 25 gives this Holden some Gallic je ne sais quoi.
Now that I saw the new BMW 3er, I find the Holden Torana concept to be more aesthetically pleasing (despite the questionable colour).
Indeed, the Duesenberg SSJ.
It's encouraging to see that's a subsidiary of a huge multinational car company, situated in a country of relatively small population, has the creativity and motivation to design and engineer...
It is my personal bias saying that no present marque can equal the prestige of cars made before WW2.
Back when Hispano-Suiza was the most prestigious marque (to me at least), with Bugatti a very...
I don't have an all time favourite of those decades, but right now the NSU Ro80 comes to mind.
The Citroën DS21, the Plymouth Barracuda, the Austin-Healey, and the MkI Ford Escort also bring back...
Ettore Bugatti was indeed an Italian, but the car company he founded was not. In 1909, manufacturing of the Bugatti-branded motorcars began in what used to be a dye factory in Molsheim, near...
Well, Saudi patrons do like those huge Chevy Suburbans (you can find those as Amman-to-Baghdad taxis, among lesser species such as Toyota Crowns) and Caprices (peace be upon them), and lest we forget...
I find that the new 5er and 7er lost some of their aesthetic harmony, but since they do look more distinctive (Cadillac seems to be walking a similar path with its F-117-inspired designs) perhaps the...
Audi, if only out of respect to the historic Quattro.
I took the Cord, because it was pushing the envelope, not unlike contemporary Citroëns.
Mercedes-Benz is still around, but Americans upscale independents (Packard, etc.) could not survive in the...
I find both encouraging and plausible the eventuality that Australian GM and Ford operations will develop honest rear-wheel drive cars for the global markets, although it would probably be...
The rear-wheel drive Escort did not make it Stateside (alas), the hapless Yank Fordsters could only get the Pinto (OK, and its cursed spawn the Mustang-II as well); in 1981 they got a front-drive...
At first when I saw sketches and bad photos of the prototypes and pre-production cars, I was afraid DaimlerChrysler were bringing the defunct Mitsubishi Proudia to the Americas (like Nissan bringing...
I’m simply more familiar the USA’s highway scenary of the 1970s than that of the 1960s (in that decade I mostly got to know cars from older times).
N.B.: I voted for the Polara.
My favourites are the 1970s Dodges and Plymouths.
Mid-size: 73-77 Dodge Coronet, 78 Dodge Monaco, 73-74 Plymouth Satellite, 75-78 Plymouth Fury.
Full-size: 74-77 Dodge Monaco/Royal Monaco, 74-75...
More about cars in Asia than Asian cars.
While watching a business news programme on some third-rate TV station, I noticed a short segment about the Beijing motor show, where several major global...
Pro Bentley in the pre-1939 context.
The Daewoo Lacetti wagon has a more Chevy-like front facia while the the Chevrolet Optra’s looks more Daewooish.
I wonder whether we might see, in the not-so-far future, the few remaining global...
While this vehicle, the Ford Territory, is not exactly my cup of tea, it seems to me it can get positive response in many markets, is there any plan to export it (beyond the RHD South-Pacific rim I...
Oldsmobile is out, and in goes a U.S.-only, Saab-badged 4WD truckster (looking quite like the Olds Bravado I might add).
In what way is that un-Saab more appealing to the American buyer than the...
