My paternal grandfather B.G. Ramakrishna Naidu was passionate about automobiles, and owned some iconic vehicles.

Here are some photos.

A 1954 Dodge Kingsway convertible visiting the HMT factory



It is registered MYA 43, and likely it was re-registered MYB 3 and survives in Dharmasthala?

Is this a Ford 4-door tourer? Like that navy blue one in Jaipur?

Given the unique bonnet side chrome trim, quarter glass and the painted headlamps, it should be a 1937 Chrysler Royal convertible sedan. The Imperial had different chrome trim.

The great Kannada Poet Shri Kuvempu's Studebaker story was shared on FB by the daughter of the previous owner who bought the car from Kuvempu's son.

Kuppali Venkatappa Puttappa (29 December 1904 – 11 November 1994),[2] popularly known by his pen name Kuvempu, was an Indian poet, playwright, novelist and critic. He is widely regarded as the greatest Kannada poet of the 20th century.[3][4][5][2][6] He was the first Kannada writer to be by decorated with the Jnanpith Award.[7]

Kuvempu studied at Mysuru University in the 1920s, taught there for nearly three decades and served as its vice-chancellor from 1956 to 1960. He initiated education in Kannada as the language medium. For his contributions to Kannada Literature, the Government of Karnataka decorated him with the honorific Rashtrakavi ("National Poet") in 1964 and Karnataka Ratna ("The Gem of Karnataka") in 1992. He was conferred the Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India in 1988. He penned the Karnataka State Anthem Jaya Bharata Jananiya Tanujate.
