Hindustan Motors Cars in India
Hindustan Motors is one of the oldest car manufacturers in India. The Ambassador is the only car it makes and sells in the Indian market anymore. However, the brand still enjoys continued patronage from central and state governments, which ensures steady sales of the Ambassador. The company has two factories, one in Uttarpara in West Bengal, where it produces the Ambassador, and the other in Pithampur, near Indore in MP, where it makes the Winner light truck.

Hindustan Motors Cars - User Reviews
Delhi, winters of 1991 was the time we had a new member in our family..our beloved 'ambassador'. Though the car was a second hand drive, it was a pleasure to ride. We had this car when there existed no power windows, no ac's, no cd changers...but the wide spacious interiors, small rotating fan and that sound of the diesel engine gave us enough pleasure! Loved spending my sunday mornings with dad fine tuning the BEAST, and my act of the play was to press the accelerator whenever asked to without touching the 'Bus Wala Gear' (ya that's what i used to call it, i had never seen a family car having a gear handle this big!) Till date ambassador has been the best value for money car and the first choice to opt. for incase you are buying a second hand vehicle provided curves 'n chrome are not your first preferences! Build and power of this beast is incomparable.
