The vehicle is being driven by Kam, "the only motoring elephant in the world"—one of Bertram Mills' four elephants trained by Joan and Gösta Kruse.
In April 1957 Coco The Clown was knocked over by this car and broke a leg, you can read all about Coco including the incident here: http://www.circopedia.org/Coco
