I remember seeing these trucks with a Plymouth sound car go past where I grew up in Florida on US 1. I believe that were five trucks.

When this complicated set-up was used, there were 4 trucks with 5 cages each, allowing for 20 animals. The units had to be parked just so to run the cats through to the up-and-down chute we see here. Considering the variables of a cat act, some cages were doubled, giving the act more than 20 at times. A fifth truck carried the arena and props. This is my favorite paint job that Beatty had for these wagons, when we remember the converted Coca-Cola trucks he had that were that god-awful yellow.
