This is a wild guess.
Hindustan Ambassador, possibly a taxi.

Nah... you are far from been right.

The clues from the pictures help at same point.
it helps to find which country is the car from.
and with that the chances to the right answer are smaller

Follow the headlight clue

It's to use as it is now.
You know i have the opel p1 from 1959 and a fiat 600 from 1970.
I didn't had plans to buy another car at the moment. And if was to buy a another one i wanted something older than the opel... something from the 40's or even older, something like a austin 7...
But in Portugal that cars are rare, and expensive... so was out of question to buy one right now.
Since i bought the fiat 600 i allways wanted a 500 but again... the price is very high, "unfortunly" Laughing this one appeared in a condition and with a price that we can't say no eheh... so i boughted, replaced brake cylinders, master cylinder and brake pipes and took it to the periodic check. It failed the first time due to the headlight pointing the wrong direction. not i fixed it and the car is drivable.. so i wont do nothing else in the next time... the future will tell me what to do in the car eheh.
This wasn't my plan expecially because it's a car the the use is similar to the fiat 600... small car and slow..and from the same year... but well... it's so cool ehhe
