Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Check out this really nicely restored Ice Cream Truck. I know the guy who is selling it. He says he'll sell ice cream at car shows and make $200-$300 in ice cream sales, plus a trophy! haha.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
the truck has had several different owners
you will need a source of dry ice to make it work for a recent charity event I did w/ my truck it cost 90.00 to ice down 150 ice creams there is a guy in NY who builds these; prolly not an authentic truck FYI I am a Good Humor collector and the design of the logo is not period correct, but rather a more modern version of the logo more from the fifties

One can ASK what ever they want. Getting it is another thing.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Forever4 (post #5) has it right:
"The 1930 style sheet metal was not introduced on commercials until June 1930, so it could rightfully be called a 1930 Model A, despite the 1929 style." |

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Also figure in an Engine #2776870 that was made on Jan 15, 1930 and it all fits.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
No, this is an original ice cream truck. He has the restoration photos to prove it. This is not a reproduction.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
I saw that on display at French Lick. I talked to the owner about the truck and restoration. It's an interesting history and beautiful truck.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Berkshire Industries owns the Good Humor trademark and may have been reluctant to give permission to use it. MACK trucks will sue at the drop of a hat over the use of a bulldog in advertising of automotive aftermarket parts.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Nice truck
Was this the same one that was in a past issue of Model A News? I gave away a number of my issues to prospective Model A fans don't think I have that issue anymore, can't seem to find it. I don't know how you would price a virtually one-off antique car like this.Kind of like Will Conkrite's drop floor Panel Delivery he was selling some time back. If I owned it and was selling, I'd start high also. |
