Had a bit of time to fill this afternoon so, I went to the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa. It has a very eclectic collection https://www.oshawa.ca/tourism/can_mus2.asp and is in a former 1920's car dealership. There is something delightfully amateur about the whole affair.
My goddaughter's grandfather is a lawyer who arranged the donation of some of the most significant cars in the collection. As such, they owed him a favour or two. Thus when his son got married (our friends and parents of aforementioned goddaughter and godparents to our daughter) they took this car out of the collection, trucked it to London ON where it was the lead car at the wedding. My wife was in the wedding party and when the brakes overheated, the bride and groom continued on in the second car. (Model A as I recall) My wife "volunteered" to stay with the Rolls and as such got to ride in it. Certainly the most stately ride she has ever been in and lots of attention! It was cool to see it again.
Incidently, the car is called Ladybird and belonged to Lady Eaton the wife of Timothy Eaton, the founder of the Eaton's department store chain.
