If you know Sudbury, you likely know there's a neighbourhood called the Donovan. But a Sudbury man also has named his vehicle after the area.

It makes sense as written on the side is 'Donovan Emergency Unit.'

About ten years ago, Peter Zloczevskewpurchased the van.

"It was a 1974 and everything worked on it," he said. "So I bought it."

The van was an emergency vehicle from the 1970s. After he bought it, he was asked to remove the emergency information on it. So he decided to cover it up and call it The Donovan.

"I'm not sure whether I dreamt it up or whether I actually saw someone decades ago driving around in one," he said.

"If there is someone out there driving around in it, [they] came up with a great idea."
