In the past, cars from different countries had distinct characteristics. These days, what with the world being a 'global village', it's difficult to figure out the origins of your car. Its engine may come from Stuttgart and Pune, the gearbox from Tokyo, the tyres from Chennai, the body from Italy and the brand label will proudly declare, 'Made in China'. TOI-Crest takes a drive down memory lane, recounting how cars in the past reflected their countries of origin.

INDIA
Main claim to fame is naturally the power Ambassador, (white only), which could bucket over a river bed and be incontinent with its sump while ferrying the President over a red carpet. Latest original entry, Tata's little Nano, which, alas, has been more of a Nono. For shame! When will we ever learn?
GERMANY
Where it all began. Like the people, their cars are made of brushed stainless steel or aluminium, and with as much humour.
