An advertisement from "Travancore Listener" (a Malayalam Magazine) 1947 November, issue.



For benefit of people who can't read Malayalam a translation is as below:

1984 Contessa Brochure.Credit to the Source: email from a friend who got it from a contessa group.

FIAT acronyms aren't new, here is a 1925 advertisement soliciting variations. Unfortunately in recent times they haven't been too flattering, like First In All Trouble or Fix It Again Tony :D

A September 1954 advertisement for the Hindustan 14 Newlook

A republic Day 1950 Austin A40 advertisement

1949 Buick advertisement - interesting to see the Indian people illustrated in the car.

A 1954 advertisement for Adler motorcycles and Salibury scooters

WOW! Adler I know about but Salsbury - never heard! The ”Super Scooter” looks… intriguing… Anyone got more info and/or first hand experience?

A 1938 Humber advertisement

The advertisement as published.

Found this ad in a coffee table book that was lying at home.

Brochure of the Mark I with its side valve engine from 1957 shared by Mr Manoj Kumar, on the Facebook Ambassador and Landmaster page. Appears to be the oldest ever brochure for the Ambassador.

A 1976 release, the film Fakira. Its not a classic, but a film advertisement.

An undated ad for the Lambretta Cento. Rs. 6,600 plus frieght and taxes.

It used to sell in the mid 1980s; my professor in Panjab University Economics Department owned one; I passed out in 1986. The product was a failure, like all other 100 cc scooters. Even LML had to replace its initial XE model (100 cc) with DZ and NV (150 cc) models.
