The first is a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, which the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru rode in, while in the city to inaugurate Nehru Bridge in the first year of Gujarat coming into existence, 1961. Nehru rode across the new bridge in the convertible with the top down. The car belonged to the Mangaldas family, and was bought by Surendra Mangaldas for his wife Pratima Parekh. It is currently owned by Snehal Parekh.
"My mother first saw this car in Paris and said something to the effect that she liked it," said Parekh. "On their return, my father immediately bought one as a gift for her. We have had many such cars — Cadillacs, DeSotos — over the years. Of course they weren't as valued then. We retained this one because of the special connection with my mother."
Following the Chevrolet Bel Air in Nehru's motorcade on Nehru Bridge was a 1956 Dodge Suburban Custom, the Ahmedabad police commissioner's car at the time. This car will also be on show on January 27.
"The Dodge was originally owned by the government of the Bombay state and was presented as a goodwill gesture to the new Gujarat government," said Chirag Mehta, the car's current owner, a city-based businessman. "It was the state car for quite some time and was used to pick up dignitaries such as Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri among others from the airport. It was auctioned by the Gujarat government around 1962-63 and was bought by my family."
Mehta will also show his 1961 Italian Fiat, a 1946 Willys CJ2A jeep and a 1960 Willys CJ-3B at the show.
