Red Cars On Hire


On a recent trip to Hyderabad, I noticed a battalion of red cars parked on the roadside. These cars are rented for weddings. One surprisingly frank driver, anxiously waiting for a customer, said that business was down. Even without this information, a close inspection would reveal that the cars weren't in great shape. But that said, they had a nostalgic old-world charm to them. Not a bad idea to spruce up the romance factor in an overly practical world, especially on a wedding day. Note the lovely car on the right (a 1950s Morris?). If I'm not mistaken, the top two car are a 1980s Contessa (manufactured by Hindustan Motors) and a 1970s Chevy.
