A look at some classic Ambassador ads...

How the iconic car brand communicated with Indians through the years.

As French auto giant Peugeot (part of the PSA group), takes over Hindustan Motors' brand Ambassador, speculations are rife about the revival of the fate of India's heritage car brand. Meanwhile, here's a look at Ambassador's ads through the year.
