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.

Why not call him and find out, name and number is listed in the eBay description. very nice example of an original body by others A. I frequent the neighborhood at least once a month, one of his neighbors is a very good friend of mine.

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. |

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
It has a '30 steering wheel/column -- could be "early" '30 ?? But it does still have a lot of '29 features.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
$85,000, I think $50,000 would more than a proper price.

I knew the early 1930 trucks had the 29 style cab, but I thought they had the 1930 wheels, bumper, and gas cap. This one has the 21" wheels, 29 style bumper, and it's hard to tell, but the gas cap also looks like a 29 style threaded cap. |

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Jeff, this is not the same one that was in the MAN. That one has white fenders and is a 1931.

Re: Cool Model A Ice Cream Truck
Since this was originally ordered/purchased/supplied as a body by others chassis, it is very possible since commercial sheet metal wasn't changed over until mid year 1930 that there was no provision for body by others engineering completed at time of order/purchase for 1930 or when ordered/purchased/supplied in 1930 the body required a 29 based chassis. Cab and box aren't Ford, also note lower cowl gussets...
