Guess its restoration time! Check out the Bug from Aleppy!

The Plymouth , guess the restoration season is in full swing!

But in this case the windshield seems to be from an ambassador , am I guessing rite?

Yes, the front winshield is of the Amby and the rear ones look like those of the Premier Padmini.

The rear looks good but the front wind shield spoils the look and the effort of restoration.

I didnt understand what restoration you are mentioning.This car has already been featured in this forum in another thread 5 years back itself.

It is a dieselised Plymouth valiant LHD 1966 model and the only recent change seems to be the change in body colour!!.
By the way the car is parked on the PATTOM -Kesavadasapuram roadside is it not?

Yes the least they could've done was fit a similar Padmini front windscreen for the front too. Would've looked slightly better. Anyway they had to make an alteration to fit this one.
