The Ambassador: A Flashback
India’s Hindustan Motors recently sold its Ambassador car to France’s Peugeot for a nominal $12 million, signalling the end of an era in the Indian auto industry. Based on the British Morris Oxford, the Ambassador was for three decades India’s bestselling car, and was the preferred mode of transport for politicos in the country.
As we bid adieu to this beauty that we grew up watching and loving, let’s take a look at some of Ambassador’s print advertisements over the years.
It’s worth noting that Peugeot came up with an ad a few years ago showing how you can beat down the Ambassador to make a Peugeot 206 for yourself — stylish, charming and contemporary.
Looks like, Peugeot finally got their way after all.
Goodbye old friend, you’ll live on forever in our hearts.
