In the latest issue Collectible Automobile (June 2023) a reader writes that in 1950 GM held a Canadian National Exhibition. All models of their lineup were included. What stood out was a1950 Chevy sedan named "The Royal Canadian". It was painted Carteret Red and Oyster White with gold trim.
Anyone ever see or hear of this car? Any chance it might still be around?

Never heard of it. This is all I was able to find on it. It's probably long forgotten in a barn somewhere.

Just a WAG! If this car was shown at the CNE in 1950 I imagine it was still owned by the company. After it's "show days" were finished its dress-up trim was probably replaced with regular production equipment and then shipped out as a production car to be sold.
