    While I did notice the the axle in the front was about twice as heavy as the rear one it didn't occur to me that it was front wheel drive, thanks. I wonder if having most of the weight in the front of the truck was intended to help anchor the ladder?

    I've spent a good portion of my life behind the wheel of trucks.

    In the first attached photo that looks like Mauri Rose in the #16 on the outside. And I think the photo may have been taken at Langhorne.

    Speaking of Rose the second attached photo is of him being towed back to the garage after he went out late in the 1949 500. He was running in second at the time to his teammate Bill Holland and car owner Lou Moore believed Rose was pushing too hard which resulted in the DNF. Rose was reportedly fired over the incident.

    IndyRJC, That picture says Horn /Robson, and It does not look like Langhorne to me. There was no spectator access in the "first" turn area. But I've been wrong before.

    Kind of a weird stunt, I wonder how the showering and bathroom duties were done?

    Publicity Stunt at Daulton Motors Photo from May 20, 1949 courtesy of Colleen Daulton Killam Everyone wanted to see the “Seaman of the Sealed Car” when Don Haynes of Ashland, Oregon, stopped in Ames at Daulton Motors, 110 Sherman. Haynes had accepted a $25,000 bet that he could live for 14 months in his new 1949 Kaiser automobile with the doors welded and with bars over the windows. Inscription on reverse of photo: A 1949 model with doors welded shut and bars on windows was used in a nationwide trip publicizing the Kaiser and Frazer's comfort with back seat [able to] fold-down flat for sleeping. The driver had been enclosed for several weeks when he visited Daulton Motor, 110 Sherman, Ames, Iowa... The car had an Oregon license plate. This photo was taken by Jack Adams, a 1949 graduate of Ames High School, in front of Daulton Motor.

    Ames Daily Tribune, May, 19, 1949

    Don R. Haynes of Ashland, Ore., who is seeking to establish an endurance record of living for 14 months in a sealed automobile, will be a guest of Ames, at the Daulton Motors, from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday. Haynes, a former Merchant Marine and truck driver, is taking all bets that he can execute this daring venture. An Oregon rancher, E.B. Maulden, 79, and former world's champion rodeo rider, when he heard of Haynes plan, decided to place a wager at 25 to 1 grand. Haynes promptly accepted, and the money is now on deposit in a local bank.

    Haynes car, which is barred on all sides so that he cannot escape, is equipped so that he can enjoy some of the comforts of life while he is experiencing this strange and record-breaking venture. They include: hot and cold running water, chemical lavatory, collapsing bed and mattress, radio, record player, public address system, cooking facilities, folding bath tub, electric shaver and blanket, exercise equipment, bureau, and many other conveniences.
    AP News, Los Angeles, California, November, 11, 1949

    A 40-year-old engineer, who took a 25 to 1 bet that he can live for a year in an automobile, is on his way to Miami, Fla., today just 3½ months short of collecting $25,000. Don Haynes of Ashland, Ore., has already logged 73,000 miles of driving in his sealed and barred sedan. While in Los Angeles he tried to purchase a monkey for a companion.

    Haynes began the venture last March after a friendly argument with E.B. Malden, wealthy Talent, Ore., cattleman. Malden bet $25,000 to $1,000 that Haynes couldn't live for a year in his auto without squawking. So fir, Haynes has covered 24 states. He expected to visit them all before his year ends. Robert Harms, also of Ashland, follows Haynes in another car and sees to it that Haynes gets proper food through the welded chrome bars on the car's windows.

    The interior of the auto has hot and cold running water, a full length bed, chemical lavatory, collapsible bath, exercise equipment and even television. Haynes said that since he started his trip his wife has given birth to their second child.

    "But when I get out of this thing next year," he added, "we'll have $25,000 for the effort."

    He said the money is on deposit in an Ashland bank.
