Clown car
A clown car is a prop in a circus clown routine. A common example of such a routine involves numerous clowns emerging from a very small car, to humorous effect. The first performance of this routine was in the Cole Brothers Circus during the 1950s.[1]
The clown car is a frequent comedic gag, often in the form of self-parody, and features prominently in Mel Brook's remake of To Be or Not To Be.
