This beautifully modified HM Contessa is for sale: Interested?

Just like the Ambassador, Hindustan Motors’ Contessa was also a very popular sedan of its time. It was the only car that ever came close to an American muscle car in terms of looks. It is now a considered a classic car, and many car collectors in different parts of the country have one. Because of its resemblance with a muscle car, many have even modified it to look like Dodge Challenger. We have seen various examples of tastefully modified Contessas in the past and here we have another video that shows a beautifully modified 1989 HM Contessa.

The video has been uploaded by MODIFIED MACHAN on his youtube channel. The Contessa in the video as mentioned above is a 1989 model and has been completely modified. In comparison to many modified Contessas that we have seen in the past, this one looks close to the original car. No body kits or alteration have been done to the exterior of car. The car retains the original twin round headlamps, the front grille and bumper.
