Hi, I am a new member and i was just looking at your car, first thing was your grandfather a freemason or had known any because the car looks like the ones that the freemasons or the shriners (when dressed as clowns) used in them in a parade. They were built just for that kind of thing and they were also used in the circus mostly in the big ring for the clown show. Sorry i dont know the name or the builder but the car is cool. When i was a kid thats what i recall, and as it happens i am also a freemason. Thanks Lummpy,
