AS PER WEBSITE DETAILS

 

History

 

The company was started in the year 1927. Thus began the Saga of a career devoted to the automobile trade, which grew into the present multi crore automobile trading Company, Cama Motors.

 

Through his relentless drive and endless hours of hard work Khan Bahadur Rustom Cama saw to it that Rustom Cama attained the Dealership of Ford Motor Company of India Limited. In the year 1931 under the banner of Ideal Motors Limited. Situated in the prime location at Lal Darwaja in Ahmedabad, where today stands the mighty Central Bank Head Office, Ideal Motors soon become the No.1 automobile trading house in Ahmedabad, and a focal point of meeting for the automobile trade. This continued till 1945 when Cama Motors was shifted to the new premises across the road from Ideal Motors, where Cama Transport, which owned and managed a fleet of over 24 trucks, was established.

 

In 1953, a new feather was added to the Company’s achievement when Cama Motors obtained the dealership for Mahindra range of vehicles.

 

In the year 1954, Ford Motors Company, decided to close down their operations in India. A glorious chapter in the history of automobile manufacture and marketing came to an end. In 1955, Hindustan Motors Limited. offered a franchisee to Cama Motors.

 

At that time late Mr. B.M Birla managed the affairs of Hindustan Motors Limited., and Rustomji was asked to go and see him at Calcutta. Late Seth Shri. Kasturbhai Lalbhai who was also a Director and a personal friend of Mr. B.M. Birla gave a personal recommendation to Rustomji to carry with him to Calcutta, in which he lauded Rustomji’s ability and integrity as a businessman.

 

In 1949, subject had moved to its present location in a brand new showroom and office attached with a huge workshop which was at that time the largest such facility in the city of Ahmedabad. Rustomji’s very dear friends Late Mr. Hiralal Desai and Late Mr. Kasturbhai Mayabhai and other colleagues were daily visitors to the “Otla Club”. Every luminary and important personality of Ahmedabad visited the “Otla Club” at some time or other. It was the centre of most of the activities in Ahmedabad whether social, governmental, or dealing with Municipal Corporation, or even connected with politics. It brings back the memory of Ahmedabad City as it was then to think of the names who were regular visitors to Cama Motors. To name a few, Mr. Arjun Lala, Mr. Ratilal Nathalal, Mr. M.D.Rajpal, Mr. K.M.Kanthawala, Mr. B.P.Patel, Mr. Chiimanbhai Patel - Sandesh, Mr. Shantilal A Shah-Gujarat Samachar, and of course the 2 closest to Rustomji, Mr. Hiralal Desai and Mr. Kasturbhai Mayabhai.

 

Today the desk which adorns the Chairman’s office was the desk used by the Managing Director of Ford Motors Company Limited. Of India, and was gifted to Rustomji, along with a photograph of the legendry Mr. Hendry Ford, which still hangs in the office of the Chairman.

 

The Cama family has been established in Ahmedabad from the year 1892, when Rustomji’s father Shri Jehangir Dadabhai Cama moved here and set up a trading establishment at Panchkuwa. He traveled to England twice before he died in 1916, and had obtained the sole distributorship of Singer Sewing Machines, and Raleigh, and Rudge bicycles for Western India.

 

With such a strong tradition of business and trading, it is no wonder that Cama Motors continued to prosper, and gained for itself a reputation for service, total integrity, and efficient marketing.

 

Today, with a total overall strength of approximately 200 persons and 50 years of history behind, it is the oldest such automobile trading company established in Gujarat.

 

Cama Motors today is connected with the most prestigious automobile companies in India, viz. Daimler India Private Limited. – manufacturers of Mercedes-Benz range of passenger vehicles.

 

It has expanded their Showroom, Workshop, and Spare Parts facility located at Lal Darwaja in Ahmedabad for looking after the needs of their distinguished cliental. Today, Cama Motors is in the process of planning and constructing a completely modern 21st. century Showroom, Workshop, and Spare Parts facility on the outskirts of Ahmedabad city, spread over approximately 7000 yds. of land.

 

Team

It all started in the year 1927, when a bright young and enthusiastic young man joined Motor House (Gujarat) as Sales Man for selling Ford motor cars. The munificent salary offered to this young man Rustom Jehangir Cama Was a sum of Rs. 75/- per month and the pay package also include 2% commission on the amount of spare parts he could sell.
