Hindustan Motors looked to France for comfort: the Ambassador Grand's cabin acoustic insulation was engineered by the French supplier Trèves, not built in-house.
After more than three decades of the same basic Ambassador, the Nova update of 1990 finally modernized the fundamentals — new steering column, better brakes, better electricals.
The Mark 4 Ambassador's 1980 diesel variant was India's first-ever diesel car — and the government was so wary of it that private citizens weren't initially allowed to buy one.
In 1977 Hindustan bumped the Ambassador Mark III to a bigger 1760cc engine for one reason: there wasn't enough power left over to run a full air conditioner otherwise.
