With passage of time – life,
status alters ! - Owner's pride ~ neighbour's envy (long long
ago !). When I posted this pic a few
years ago ! – many friends identified this to be Contessa - from the stables of Hindustan Motors hit the
roads from 1984 and was on sale till 2002 fading away ! - going by the logo this is not HM Contessa
!!
Kings and queens, royalty or royal families, have been associated with luxury and sophistication, decadence and with the attitude the goes with making their own rules without caring about almost anything else. A crown is a traditional and formal form of headwear, worn by monarchs as a symbol of their power. Crowns are mainly symbols of royalty, although they have become a symbol of authority, prestige or high class.
Introduced in 1955 as the Toyopet Crown, it served as the mainstream sedan from Toyota in the Japanese market throughout its existence and holds the distinction of being one of the longest-running passenger-car nameplate affixed to any Toyota model. The Toyota Crown has been produced by Toyota in Japan since 1955. It is primarily a line of executive cars that is marketed as an upscale offering in the Toyota lineup.
The
Kamal Rajni Jayapradha starrer ‘Ninaithale Inikkum’ was a big musical hit of our times with 14
songs ! – the movieline was an adoption of story written by our favourite
writer - Sujatha Rangarajan. The film was also simultaneously shot in Telugu as
Andamaina Anubhavam ( Beautiful experience). A large part of the film was shot
in Singapore and later dubbed in Hindi
as Pyara Tarana. That Cigarette flip
scene involving a wager (was it Poornam Viswanathan !) by a millionaire
challenging Rajni to flick a cigarette into his lips 10 times in a row without
dropping – the prize being a Toyota car and fine being little finger ! – the
otherwise confident Rajni slowly develops fear on seeing the medicines, cotton
and scissors for cutting !! .. .. that
scene was inspired by story of Roald Dahl.
Interesting !
