Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus once used this Mack for its human cannonball show. The truck is on display at the Ringling Brothers Museum in

Sarasota, FL. You could say that Ringling Brothers got the most bang for its buck with this "B". There is also a miniature display of a Ringling Brothers circus

complete with Mack "AC" and "CJ" trucks. Well worth visiting if you are in the Sarasota area.

Years ago the were some AC Bulldogs sitting around there outside. (1970's) When I went back years later they were gone. When I inquired about them I was told the salt air had taken such a toll on them and they had been hauled off. Isn't that a fabulous home.If you guys are in the Sarasota area you should stop and see it. The B-model cannon truck is inside. The name of the home is Ca'dZan if you want to look it up. John and I think it was Mabel Ringling lived there. It is a fabulous estate!!

looked at that truck about 3 years ago when we were in Sarasota. its a mock up. they put the cannon on it. i think the cannon was originally on an old Sterling. was never on the B

Bummer, thought that I was on to something.
