For those who haven't heard - one of the orginal Dumbo's and Teacups were paraded through DC this week on a tractor trailer on the way to their new homes in the Smithsonian in the American History museum [since they truely are national icons]. A photo in the paper here showed them and the police escort as they moved to their new home.
