The Ambani family lives in one of the most expensive private residences in the world – Antilia, which costs Rs 15,000 crore. The Ambanis often travel in private jets, wear high-end designer outfits, and exquisite jewelry. During weddings or mega events, the jewelry worn by the Ambani women, like Isha Ambani or Shloka Mehta, can be worth crores of rupees. The Ambanis have an incredible collection of luxurious possessions across various categories such as cars, watches, brooches, and jewellery. In fact, Mukesh Ambani really loves cars. He owns more than 170 luxury cars, many of which are brought in from other countries just for him. At his house, Antilia, there is a special place called Jio Garage, where all these cars are parked.
Even though the Ambani family owns cars from all top luxury brands, they mostly prefer to travel in customised Rolls-Royce cars made just for them. But did you know — there’s one vintage car that is not part of Mukesh Ambani’s amazing collection? This vintage car was once owned by Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance and father of Mukesh Ambani. But surprisingly, it is neither in Mukesh Ambani’s nor Anil Ambani’s, Nina Kothari’s, or Deepti Salgaocar’s collection today. Interestingly, this prized vehicle has been acquired by a celebrated South Indian superstar.
Mohanlal, one of the Malayalam film industry’s biggest superstars, now owns Dhirubhai Ambani’s vintage Cadillac. The 1958 left-hand drive Cadillac sedan was initially bought by film producer K Balaji, Mohanlal’s father-in-law, and featured in several films he produced. Originally based in Chennai, the car was later relocated to Kochi by Mohanlal, who initiated its restoration. Initially maroon, the sedan was restored by Flamingo Garage in Kochi and subsequently repainted to maintain its quality.
Although it’s not clear when K. Balaji bought the luxury car from Dhirubhai Ambani, we do know one interesting detail — the car is registered with the number MAS 2100.
