WE know that her father "Billy Burke" was a famous American circus clown and she was one of Zeigfield's wives. We remember her as the beautiful angel in" The Wizard of OZ". I guess it was an angel. Something like that Or "fairy Godmother" whatever. Its to early in the day for thinking or remembering. Tanglefoot

Further research found this to be

a 1927 Stutz Chantilly Brougham

She was "Glinda The Good Witch" in

"The Wizard Of Oz" John & currently

our production of the stage musical

"Wicked" is based on a novel that

is a possible back story to that

Chic: "Brougham" came to be a catchy name for certain models, but the originals both in carriages and autos had the driver outside and the passengers inside. Free info here.
