Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Look but don't touch: Even a young boy can appreciate the value of this 1957 Silver Cloud Rolls Royce that had a reserve bid of $45;000 at the antique car auction at the International Centre in Mississauga. This car - owned by Maurice Dionne of New Brunswick; wasn't sold because the highest bid was only $31;000. I'm a little upset; Dionne said; but just as happy it didn't sell because it's my dream car. Dionne spent $2;500 getting the car here.
