Original Toronto Star caption: The call of a familiar duty brought Lewis Overton (right) out of retirement to prepare cars fit for The Queen to ride in later this month ? if a federal election doesn't keep her away. Sgt. Major john McCabe (centre) of the Ontario Provincial Police receives them; as General Motors Canada's Byron Blundell looks on. The fleet includes four U.S.-made Cadillacs painted ? what else? ? royal blue as well as an Eldorado convertible for Her Majesty; plus 16 Oshawa-built Chevrolets and Pontiacs.
