As a true Indophile I am proud to announce that the Ambassador is the car on top of my wish-list. I feel VIP just thinking of going to the office sitting in the backseat in one of those.
The Ambassador or “the Amby” – has been produced by Hindustan Motors since the 1950s. Orginally based on the Morris Oxford (UK 1948). Even today 15000 of them are produced yearly, most of them running as taxis or driving goverment officials.
Where else in the world then from the factory in West Bengal can you get a car manufactured based on drawings from 1948, that is brand new?
So for the decor. Maybe flowers, hippie style or ultra Indian?
Yes! Get a fleet of them like the old Beetles and retro them out big time! Could be a HUGE business
Funny, I am talking to someone in Delhi about doing this!! I think it will be a winner!!!
Like this guy in London? http://www.karmakabs.com/index.html#kars

Added a few great Amby photos borrowed from around the web
