This car I don't recognize to be honest. Over to the experts. Attachment 1696879

Hey lovely old pics.
In the meanwhile we know that the Renault is of 1908. There are three such Renault's known to survive in India.
As for the honestly unrecognized car, that is the Mors of Pranlal. The monocle was stolen from the car soon after purchase, and he did get the car from Calcutta. In around 1984 or so the car was for sale and Zahid Vohra had shown me a photo at that time.

Lagonda, Singer.......I have not identified it yet. Unfortunately this BFI video is not available in the U.S.
Any luck in India / other countries ?

Two pictures from Jackie Kennedy's trip to Jaipur

Both the cars (former Jaipur state cars) probably belong to the state motor garage, Rajasthan.
In the second picture the car behind the tree appears to be the Cadillac still with the state motor garage and a regular participant in the Jaipur rally.
Apologies if posted before.
Some nice pictures from all over India.

Couple of more Magnum photos
Indira Gandhi on arrival in Jaipur she steps from her car to face the press.
Somewhere else in the country, cant read the registration plate, maybe M.P
and couple more found on google.
As always, the car buffs in India have chronicled a pleasant history lesson on the Indian culture. The 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 is superb, and there appears to be a late '50s (maybe 55 or 56) Chrysler in the two photos with Indira Gandhi stepping down from them.
Old pictures from all over India

Great photo, thanks for sharing. Any idea if it survives? I could find 7044, close enough :)
