The Donna featured “Saf-Air Automatic Heat,” an innovation named by someone who did not quite understand the purpose of the silent E.

Says the back: "12-11-53 Fri 2nd nite."

The Donna did not have TVs. It did, however, provide radios.

In the pen or the ground, most likely. Maybe not. That's why God invented Buicks and state lines, after all.
