Original Toronto Star caption: What's the rush? Jan Rubes, leading actor of stage, screen and tube, is trying to avoid one of Toronto's newest regular features - mud puddles. Here he alights from his favorite make of car, a Pontiac, this one a 6000 STE. It was New York Yankee owner Leo Durocher who introduced him to his first Pontiac. But he still doesn't know where the engine is.
