Hindustan Motors and their Ambassador sedan has a special place in India’s automotive history. It was the first car to be ever manufactured in India and it soon became a status symbol for many rich families and official car for politicians and government officers. Hindustan Motors shut down the production of Ambassador sedan in 2014. Ambassador is still a popular car among collectors and we have seen several examples of well-maintained and resto-modified versions of this sedan. Here we have a Hindustan Ambassador that has been neatly customised to look classy.

The video has been uploaded by Dajish P on their YouTube channel. In this video, the vlogger talks about the modifications and customisations that have been done to the car.
