Anna May Wong and her Moon "6-60" coupe (1926)
Anna May sure loved her cars. One of her first was a six-cylinder Willys-Knight, which she wrecked on a bridge trying to evade a motorcycle cop. Below is a little piece about a Buick she bought in 1924 — perhaps as a replacement for that Willys-Knight!
CLEVER LITTLE CHINESE MOVIE STAR
JOINS FAMILY OF BUICK OWNERS
Anna May Wong, the little Oriental film star who is taking a prominent part in the support of Douglas Fairbanks in "A Thief of Bagdad", spends her leisure hours in motoring.
The above picture of little Miss Wong was caught by the photographer while she was taking a "constitutional" in her favorite car, a Buick.

P.S. I just found the following driving-related item about Anna May from The Oxnard Daily Courier (February 3, 1925). Seems like she was a bit of a daredevil!
Anna May Wong, a well known Chinese actress of Los Angeles, was arrested in Ventura Saturday night. She was driving at the rate of 35 miles an hour and will appear before Judge Meilandt tomorrow.
