1979 model resto-modded Hindustan Ambassador Mark 4 looks beautiful

Hindustan Ambassador is a very special car for India. It was one of the first cars to be ever made in India. It ruled the Indian roads in the 90’s until modern cars completely took over the market. Hindustan Ambassador was an iconic car and was used by politicians and senior government officials across the country. Hindustan Motors (HM) stopped the production of Ambassador and shut down their factory in 2014 but, there are still several well kept examples of HM Ambassadors in the country. Many of them have been restored with modern features while some still remain the same. Here we have a video of a beautifully modified 1979 model Hindustan Motors Ambassador sedan.

The video has been uploaded by Dajish P on his YouTube channel. In this video, vloggers shows a beautiifully restored and modified Hindistan Ambassador Mark 4 sedan. The main attraction on this car is the paint job. It gets a metallic green shade on the outside which is an unusual colour of the sedan. Normally, we have seen people painting Ambassadors in white or Black shade. The front grille, bumper are all the same.

This car can be used as a daily drive vehicle. The owner can be heard saying in the video that he has several cars in his garage but, this one remains his favourite.
