frustratedpilotHey.
Anybody know of any scale models of this car on the market?
Yes, that is an Amby, made by Hindustan...which is in the same conglomerate as our (Stateside) General Motors. One of my big pipe dreams is, now that Detroit is in the mood for retro, for GM to buy the body tooling for the Amby and to build a new version here, with all 21st Century mechanics under that charmingly rounded body. Give it some nice nostalgia-inducing chrome and a two-tone paint scheme, and dub it the Bel-Air. (Or course, this would give India an excuse to bring their carmaking tech into the 21st Century as well.)
Think globally, buy locally.
