Today we reminisce about the true vintage classic cars of all time — the HM Ambassador and Contessa, that have been serving as symbols of power and luxury for over fifty decades now. Hindustan Motors changed the game of the automobile sector in India by launching the iconic Ambassador, that not only has a deep link with the political figures of the nation but, in contrast, has also made its mark as a commercial yellow taxi in states such as Kolkata.
It continues to be recognised as the “King of Indian Roads”. Post the success of Ambassador in India, HM launched what came to be known as the “the muscle car of India” and set a whole new definition of luxury in cars.
Take a trip down memory lane by reading more about these classics.
