For as long as there has been a Model T hobby, participants have speculated
that there is a link between Model T's and ice cream. Today, Heinrich from the
Chugwater Institute uncovered hard evidence showing the two together in a
period document. No more having to make up excuses for stopping for ice cream.
This shows without question that the two are mandatory supplements to each
other. You're welcome.

Many thanks for that, Burger, though many of us never doubted it !!

On the History channel Sunday night there was a documentary of the Food that built America. In this Segment it was about ice cream and interesting that the fledgling company bought 10 Model T running chassis and supposedly it was the first ice cream company that had ice cream trucks. I wish I could remember the name of the company but at the moment I can’t! The company left the black chassis all black and the bodies were custom made and painted bright whit.
The trucks went around neighborhoods, fairs and etc. It was this company that the owner developed chocolate frozen ice cream bars. Interesting enough the trucks were fitted with an engine driven cooler that ran off the T engines. I remember from the show that the trucks looked neat and wondered if anyone ever restored one.

And even then the Chinese had spy balloons watching us.

They're not spying. They're trying to obtain the first high resolution photos and video of Bigfoot and Sasquatch.

If it’s on the internet, it must be true

Somewhere I read an article about the guy who does the music for ice cream trucks. It is a niche market, and he has never had any huge competition. I think at one time, he had a large operation with many employees. but with digital music, he now runs the operation with just him and his wife out of his garage. He still supplies the music systems, with the licensed music, but said sales are tiny compared to what they were in the 1950's and 60's. Time passes for everyone.

The last ice cream truck I've seen was in Ft Worth about 32 years ago. It had an amplified music box that played "Pretty Redwing".

We still have them in the summer time in Portland Oregon and they still play that darn music!

Any comments from Ed Archer n this delicious topic?

Just wondering.....
