The Hindustan Ambassador is an automobile that was manufactured by Hindustan Motors of India from 1957 to 2014, with improvements and changes over its production lifetime. The Ambassador was based on the Morris Oxford series III model, first made by Morris Motors Limited at Cowley, Oxford in the United Kingdom from 1956 to 1959.
Despite its British origins, the Ambassador was considered as a definitive Indian car and was fondly called the "King of Indian roads".[1] The automobile was manufactured by Hindustan Motors at its Uttarpara plant[2] near Kolkata, West Bengal. On 11 February 2017, Hindustan Motors executed an agreement with PSA Group for the sale of the Ambassador brand, including the trademarks, for a consideration of ₹80 crore (US$10 million).[3] The tie-up entailed two joint-venture agreements between the companies of the two groups.
