Anthony, a fan of the Chevron Cars, submitted a drawing for a new car. We are very proud to share his drawing of Anthony Ambulance with our many blog readers! Over the years, many people have requested an ambulance Chevron Car and Anthony has drawn a great example for us. He designed the car so the rear doors open to reveal the life-saving equipment ambulances carry. Thank you for such an excellent drawing, Anthony.

Though he would be the only Chevron Cars ambulance, Anthony would not be lonely. There are over 48,384 ground ambulances in the United States operated by over 840,669 Emergency Medical Services personnel.

Anthony Ambulance would also be a good friend for Fuller Fire Truck, Chevron's newest car. Other suggested ambulance names submitted from fans over the years include Aaron, Abby, Allan, Albus, Allie, Amelia, Amber, Amy, Andrea, Andy, Anne, Ashley and Austin. What would you name your ambulance?

For the first time ever, Chevron is making a limited number of Chevron Car ornaments available for fans and collectors. These ornaments are ONLY available on eBay.

All proceeds from ornament sales go to Safe Kids Worldwide which is a global network of organizations whose mission is to reduce preventable childhood injury, a leading killer of children 14 and under. These grassroots efforts bring together health and safety experts, educators, corporations, foundations, governments, and volunteers to educate and protect families. Safe Kids' work has contributed to a 45 percent decrease in the U.S. accidental childhood injury death rate since 1987.

Only a few hundred of these 2007 and 2008 ornaments were ever made (as executive gifts, much like the Gold Dusty cars). They were never sold previously, and are not available at any retail location. Each ornament was individually blown and painted by hand in Europe. The ornaments are produced by Landmark Creations and come in their famous red box. The 2007 edition (top) uses the red icon car, and the 2008 one (bottom) uses a blue car. Each ornament is approximately 4.5 by 4 inches in size (the blue one) and 4 by 4 inches (the red one).

Ornaments will be offered on eBay for auction until all ornaments are sold. Ornaments are currently being sold in 3-day auctions. Ornaments will be shipped via UPS within 48 business hours of an auction's closing. Ornaments are NOT available in the regular Chevron Cars store. This is a rare opportunity to add something special to your collection and support a good cause.

The final two new Victor E. Vans for 2008 have been launched. Victor E. Van Gonzaga University celebrates the Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball team based in Spokane, Washington. This 100 year-old West Coast Conference college team has reached numerous NCAA Division I basketball tournaments in recent years. The Gonzaga Victor E.

Every year since 2001, Chevron has produced a Special Edition Chevron Car to raise awareness about finding a cure for breast cancer. This year, we are proud to introduce you to Spirit, the 2008 edition and the newest car in this very special series.

Spirit is available now while supplies last in the ChevronCars.com Toy Store and at select Chevron retail stations. These special edition cars often sell out relatively quickly and they will not be produced again. As always, all net proceeds from the sale of this special edition toy car will be donated to help promote the early detection of breast cancer. You can find Spirit here.

This year's Breast Cancer Awareness Car Spirit has a great new design and style. She is a cool coupe with a pink color (of course!) and a darker pink ribbon design on the side with the 2008 date printed on the back. She has a lively nature, generous attitude, and is always ready to deliver an extra smile to anyone who needs it.

Do share your Comments about Spirit with fellow collectors and fans!

A creative new idea for a car was recently sent in from Richard who is a fan of the Chevron Cars. His idea looks like a camper van with a window in the middle and a slick brown stripe that runs across the side of the car. We also love the drawings next to the car of the tree, tent, and campfire which shows that this car is really enjoying being in the great outdoors. The great big smile on the front of the car is also a nice feature showing that this car is probably having a great time riding along the mountain roads and having fun at the campsite -- maybe even roasting marshmallows over the fire!

This car would probably get along well with Woody Wagon, Freddy 4 Wheeler, and of course Maria Minivan who all enjoy traveling and exciting adventures along winding mountain roads and rolling hills.

Thanks so much Richard for sending in this fun and imaginative new car idea! Let us know what you think of this new idea and submit your own car creation or photo of your car collection.
