If i remember he drove it about 100 miles from Bay City,Mi to Detroit where i grew up. I still remember him coming down the street pulling up in front of the house and my mom shaking her head. lol He got it dirt cheap! Really didn't need much. Had it cleaned up put some stripes on it and had a sign painter do the lettering.. Mr. A Ice Cream. He drove that truck thru the streets of Detroit all summer. Had a dry ice box to keep ice cream cold. Henry Ford Museum wanted it, but he wouldn't sell... Finally sold in 71, If i remember right they were only 2 in existence. It is a factory ice cream truck, wasn't altered at all. I sure wish i knew where it was today!! Ken
