Hindustan Ambassador
Next, Nirmala Sitharaman has also been spotted making public appearances in the vintage Hindustan Ambassador. Now, the Ambassador was the prevalent choice of rides among government officials in our country since time immemorial. In fact, a couple of decades ago, government officials were given this car to make official commutes. Hence, it comes as no surprise that the Finance Minister also used it for some time. However, the production of the Ambassador ended in 2014 and the government decided to offer new and modern vehicles to its officials.
