These two semi's were used to transport the Elephants on the show. Hunt's Elephants were always featured on the Sealtest Big Top tv show. As it was presented live from Philadelphia, on Saturday mornings, back in the 1950's.The Hunt's Elephant Trainer back then was Capt. Roy Bush , quite the character, who was Henry Bush'es Uncle. Henry know as the Circus Pretzelman hailed from Newburgh, NY and is a very active Circus Fans of America member now living in Sarasota .
Quite the character indeed.!!. Roy was one of my favorite people growing up. I always loved being on the show with him. I always rode elephants for him in spec,not only did it keep me from having to walk,it increased my vocabulary..LOL..
