An early Saturn I/C-1 first (S-1) stage is shown being transported, most likely from the Marshall Space Flight Center, then to be transferred to barge, for its journey to Cape Canaveral to make history.
Precise 1960 artwork by Don R. Davis, not to be confused with Don E. Davis. Complete with babbling brook...err culvert, and quite the picturesque setting for a piece of rocket hardware. Other than the hardware, I think Bob Ross would’ve approved. Note also the driver of the transporter, located at the front right wheel assembly...along with the noticeably flat tires, intentionally so, in order to better absorb road surface irregularities.
The towing vehicle appears to be an American Coleman (Federal?) CF-55-AF Double-Cab Towing Tractor.
Pulling a B-58...outstanding:
