Anonymous said...: Buckles,
Do you know where this car is today? I still back up the video and play it over every time I watch the GSOE movie!

I'm under the impression that most of, if not all of, Lou's props and costumes are still at his house in Sarasota under the care of Jean, Lou Ann and Dolly.; 04 May, 2008 08:23

I think the working car in this picture (or one of the later versions) has been on display in conjunction with the Greatest Show on Earth film display at times, and is on loan from the Jacobs family.
