Ambassador, own car of INDIA ..the first car

Ambassador - (we are calling it as AMBI) the first car to be manufactured in India, has been ruling the Indian roads ever since its inception in 1948. Originally based on Morris Oxford (United Kingdom, 1948), the Ambassador has been undergoing a series of changes, adapting to customer expectations.

A rebadged version of the old Morris Series II and III has been selling under the Hindustan Motors Ambassador name for 50 years. That makes it the oldest car still in production, and there are no plans to stop.

Despite the emergence of global brands such as Suzuki, Toyota, and Hyundai, the Ambassador is still the car preferred by Indian government for its ministers and diplomats. Out of the total production of 15,000 per year, the government accounts for around a quarter. The other big market is taxis, for which HM usually adds LPG or CNG fuel systems.
