Will always remain the

classic clown car to me

Read of the evolution of Lou's famed auto in the chapter "Crazy Acts - The Clowns", in Fred Bradna's THE BIG TOP.

The midget clown @ C is my late pal, Jimmy Armstrong. During an early rehearsal, Jimmy suffered a broken arm when the car careened out of control. Lou repaid him by co-starring him as the clown cop in this long-running Center Ring solo.

DeMille included the entire act in his GSOE film.
