(to be developed)
The following article appeared in Winnipeg's new "DOWNTOWNER" following
the
annual 1984 "World
of Wheels" car show.

Somewhat curiously
this autumn bronze and shoreline beige 1955 Chevy returned my
gaze as I strolled
through the 10th Annual Speed Sport World of Wheels Show.
Unlike Bo Derek's
Barriser and King Kong, "Anna" is not flashy, she is quietly
charming and exudes
character and gracious age.
"Anna" received her
first local award in 1981, 1st place for Best Driven 1955-57
Chevrolets at Rod-a-Rama.
Appearing in only seven car shows, "Anna" has
captured eleven 1st
place and specialty awards.
Two family members,
a 1956 two tone crocus yellow and laurel green Chevrolet Bel
Air and a 1957 Chevrolet
canyon coral and India ivory, proudly accompany the elder
automobile.
This year, 1984, at
the "World of Wheels" Show "Anna" bows to her 1956 sister
Chevy who received
1st place for "Late Restored" vehicles. Bud points out that
"Anna" is not slighted
by this event and that his family takes great pride in cruising
through Assiniboine
Park on a sunny afternoon.
Whether a car fan
or not anyone can appreciate these beautiful classics. Young and
old alike relate
to stately 210 Chevys like "Anna".
Many more miles to
you and yours Anna.
