An ambassador, rarely embassador, is a diplomatic official accredited to a foreign sovereign or government, or to an international organization, to serve as the official representative of his or her own.
Ambassadors are ministers of the highest rank, with plenipotentiary authority to represent their head of state.
For example, ambassadors to and from the United Kingdom are accredited to or from the Royal Court of St. James's, rather than to the State.

 Hindustan Ambassador
The Hindustan Ambassador, or "Amby" as it is affectionately known in India, has carved an enviable niche for itself with the country's car buyers.
Hindustan was certainly eminently comfortable with this situation, and consequently the "Amby" was never replaced, or even significantly updated: there was simply no need because the car sold in such enormous numbers.
The Ambassador's declining share of its own market and negligible exports were not nearly enough to save Hindustan, so the company expanded with the release of the Pushpak, Porter and Trekker off-road vehicles.

 The Hindu : Metro Plus Chennai / General Wellness : The first trimester Amby
During its fifty years (that is, if you count the very short period when the Hindustan Ambassador was made on Indian soil, but as the Landmaster), the car has managed to play two conflicting roles — as the penny-pinching taxi and the ostentatious, official vehicle of the Indian bureaucrat.
If you factor in the first nine years (from 1948 to 1957) when the Ambassador was in its foetal stage of development (the metaphor actually works, if you substitute a month for every year), the car's history runs alongside that of independent India.
The Hindustan 14, cognate as it was with the MO, became the natural recipient of this technical change.
