When this car was made, India was not yet independent. |

You are right, Gamer. Should we say "made for GB" ? It sounds to me not so nice but otherwise I have no idea what to write. |

Made for India still seems the best solution. Made for GB isn't a convincing idea, as the spec would be different from cars sold in GB. It's worth noting that the car predates India as an independent republic, but it had been a country called India for a long time. Our strategy should be to find the most useful way of describing the car, which may not be to follow the nuances of history. |

What amuses me about this is that the car isn’t even identified and an argument is being held about the stupid “made for” thing. It looks remarkably wet. |

It looks like a 1937 Buick Special or Limited to me but since I know as much about American cars as Noddy knows about the Kama Sutra, I’ll leave it to someone with more knowledge. I see we have 544 unidentified Buicks to go at, so maybe somebody might do it. -- Last edit: 2021-07-22 10:21:26 |

Thanks for the total indifference. |

well... in my case its more lack of knowledge in cars from that era than indifference... |

Indeed it looks like a Buick, however a 1938. As for the model, it's certainly not a Limited (which did not exist as a convertible coupé), but as mentioned a Special, or a Century. The best way to tell these apart is by viewing it from the side. If the cowl is covered by the fender, it's a Special, if it isn't, it's a Century. Looking at the film of YT there's a brief glance of the car passing by. Judging by the overall hood length and the fact that the front fender is slightly lower than the rear fender, I'd say it's a Century [66-C]. |

I only thought Buick because it looks like an Austin 16, so I looked up some Buicks, from which the Austin’s styling had been pinched. You’ve only got 543 left now! -- Last edit: 2021-07-27 12:04:26 |

Well, or or the Austin looks like a Buick  |

No, we had many Austins here, but I had never seen a Buick, only read that they pinched the Buick’s design for the Austin, so the Buick is of no importance to me, as a Brit, except to know that a 37 Buick looks like a 39 Austin. -- Last edit: 2021-07-27 16:27:11 |
