Flatcar # 55
Here it is in use on the World of Mirth Carnival. This is from the Dan McGinnis collection.

Bob, Did CWM ever paint one of these cars back with the World of Mirth title on it? I have never seen one if they did. I have always thought that they should have had one with the WOM title since thats where they got a lot of the cars. They did have Royal American Shows cars and some wagons with carnival names on them, why not World of Mirth ? It was a great old carnival !
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
