Yes a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE with me since maybe 15 years. Plan to fix in the next year. This was the original colour of the car with a vinyl roof covering. Saved it from a movie car garage, was sheduled to be blasted.

A couple of rare oddities are prominently featured in the film - a Premier Padmini Starline safari and a 4 door Standard Herald Mark 3. Thanks to stanher for the find.

Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

Periya Idathu Penn, 1963 (Tamil)

I came across this newspaper article featuring a Morris 8 Tourer, that supposedly was featured in the movie Periya Idathu Penn. I did watch the movie to try and find it but no luck.
Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars-periya-idathu-penn.jpg

I did however find something much more interesting, a 1948 Packard convertible that I'm told was owned by one of the stars, maybe MGR himself. The car was in terrible condition before being recently restored.

Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

'Geet Gaya Patharon Ne' (1964)

Many American cars seen in this film by V Shantaram

A 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible. Unfortunately the print isn't clear and I cannot read the registration number to confirm if this is a popular film car.

Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars-geet-gaya-patharone-4.png

Another 1960 Chevrolet Impala, but a sedan.

A 1956 two tone Plymouth
Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars-geet-gaya-patharone-11.png

A star car in the film, a 1958 Cadillac that was V Shantaram's personal car, still retained by his son I'm told.

Pelli Kanuka, 1960 (Telugu)

An interesting vehicle seen in this film is a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe cab but what appears to be on a commercial / light truck chassis.

Re: Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars

Shatranj (1993)

The movie prominently features a Herbie style character, a post 67 choptop VW Beetle that has a mind of its own.

Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan (1978)

An unidentified late 60s American convertible - maybe an Oldsmobile or Pontiac?

A 1964 Chevrolet Impala (previously seen in 'Duniya Meri Jeb Mein') has a run in with a 1951/52 Dodge (previously seen in 'Jhootha Kahin Ka'). It doesn't end well!
