This home video was shot on my (Kevin Starr) camera by Dick Van Dyke while we were filming the Clown College 20th Anniversary CBS TV special in 1987. This was for a special Alumni show and this is the first internet release to my knowledge.
I spoke with Dolly, Lous daughter in Sept. 2008 and she confirmed this was the last time he performed this bit. He was 84 at the time and still well over 6 feet tall; he got into this car and was able to drive it into the ring he was a contortionist as well as one of the most famous clowns ever to work on Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus. He did this routine in the 1952 movie The Greatest Show On Earth also starring James Stewart, Charlton Heston and many circus performers from back in the day.
