Situated in the midst of a busy pilgrimage route that covers the historic local Karpaga Vinayagar temple and the nearby Kunnakudi Shanmughanathar temple, Chettinad Vintage Gallery is a time capsule of the passions that once drove the Nagarathar Chettiar community of this culture-rich region of Tamil Nadu.
The vintage museum, A boyhood dream of LM Lakshmannan, is full of not just vintage cars, but also two-wheelers and three-wheelers. And as an extension of his love for other forms of classic technology, Lakshmannan has added toys, cameras and recording equipment to the collection at his Chettinad Vintage Gallery in Pillaiyarpatti, Tirupattur Taluk.

There is also a small line-up of #scooters and auto-rickshaws manufactured in the 1950s.

API's registered offices were earlier in Mumbai, later shifted to Chennai, in Tamil Nadu. The manufacturing facilities were located in Mumbai and Aurangabad in Maharashtra and in Ambattur, Chennai.
