Gold Spot

Premier Padmini (Fiat)

The Premier Padmini, often referred to as the Fiat Padmini was a classic Indian car model produced by Premier Automobiles Limited. It was widely used as a taxi and was considered an iconic Indian car. However, the introduction of more modern and fuel-efficient car models led to its decline.

Murphy Radios

Rasna
