I know the large stake driver, generator sets,and elephants came from Ringling after 1956. But did these jeeps also come from them also? Also the small stake driver that is on the small international tractor in the other photo, anybody know the history of it?

These jeeps were among the variety of vehicles provided by the sponsor in each town in hopes of providing some sembalence of a street parade.

Thank you sir, I couldn't blow up the photo to see the lic plates or the writing on the cowls below the windshields. Saw the worn tires on the 1st jeep and the towbar on the second and knew that the local jeep dealer didn't let them use some of their new ones from their lot. Also,look like surplus canvas tops on them.
