[BCMA] Donation: Cool object looking for a new home!

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello!



We are looking for a new home for our 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood limo that was used by WAC Bennett. We are looking to transfer/donate it to another public institution in BC.



For over ten years, the Cadillac was used by former Premier Bennett as he conducted official business across the province. Some BC residents expressed upset over the purchase of the car, though it became recognizable and associated with the premier, and the site of many meetings and transactions. The premier didn’t like to fly and this was his main mode of transportation.



It is in good condition overall. The reason we are looking for a new home is that we can no longer afford to store it.
