Details

This original 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Good Humor ice cream truck was out of service for decades and was given a complete body-off restoration. It was completely overhauled and was upgraded with a freshly rebuilt 350ci V8 engine paired with a rebuilt 3-speed automatic transmission. It has new brake and fuel lines and a rebuilt driveline with new shocks, bushings, bearings and brake pads. This truck also has new wiring with a 12-volt electrical conversion. The Good Humor livery decals - along with the functional side lighting, brass bells and other accessories - are all new and are period-correct. It rides on new wide whitewall tires with original-style rims and hubcaps. The chrome and stainless trim, emblems and ice-cream box hinges are all new and fresh. The interior was professionally done in a medium blue and white color scheme. It is even equipped with an amplified sound card and two speakers to play the familiar 'Ice Cream Jingle.' This vehicle also comes with its very own vintage correct Good Humor man mannequin to display along with it in your personal collection or museum display. It even features a functional modern ice-cream refrigeration unit to keep the ice-cream snacks frozen for your next event. This truck has only shakedown miles and comes with a retro California Black Plate for display. This process was photo-documented, and a binder of pictures of the entire rebuild process comes with the sale.
