It is! It's "Sanford & Son"! (Might as well stick with the best).
Enjoying these posts and getting some ideas about parking layout with a building. Here is my mockup with a few 50s cars at the local (under construction) root beer stand.

those are schuco piccolo 1/48 scale motorcycles. they can be found occasionally on eBay but these days tend to be pricey. if your not a real stickler for scale or time period, mth makes two different groups of harley davidsons. but they’re 1/43 scale and all are modern. arttista also has a couple but, not modeled after any prototype.
Great pics thank you for posting

Jerrman, Thanks for the information'.. After scouring the web, I found a company in Germany, That has these in stock and ordered a bunch of them. There was one on the bay, but as you stated, way overpriced.
For others that may be interested, this is the company.. .https://nasshan.com/en/figuren...s-143/?p=1&n=200
Great variety of all kinds/types of vehicles and motorcycles, figures, etc. and the prices are very good... and a very nice easy navigating web site...

Great pic Ray thanks for posting
Thanks Lee
OK guys - don't know about you but where I grew up in urban NJ in the summer every day about 7 pm just after supper time the ICE CREAM MAN would come around the neighborhood in his white truck and kids would stream out of back yards like ants. I found this truck in Walgreens for the astounding expense of $5.99 and couldn't resist. It has quite an amazing amount of detail even including the little swing out "STOP" sign that you see today on school buses. It is going into my "Small Town" section of the layout so kids can get their summer treats even with the virus!!
It's basically a 1956 Ford F-100 chassis and cab with the refrigerator installed on the truck bed. This model was made by a company called "Kinsmart" and it is a little big at 1/38. It reminds me of the "Good Humor" ice cream trucks that used to come around our neighborhood although it does not carry a brand name.
Happy weekend fellows

Wow, Don! That ice cream truck is a great bargain! Several of us have the 1:43 Road Champs 1953 Good Humor Chevy ice cream truck with the open cab. It's nice to see a Ford version. What great lines and I like the Stop sign, too. (By the way, CVS also carries Kinsmart cars.)
Just last week an ice cream truck in 1:1 cruised my neighborhood. It seemed a bit early in the season and he only drove by that one day. Hopefully, your Small Town driver will get more kids.

Don, just print out a Good Humor, or as we called it Goodjumer, sign from the net and you'll be all set'...

Tomlinsonrr: Thanks for the compliment on my ice cream truck...around here CVS and Walgreens seem to be on opposite corners so I will have to check their inventory as well 
Yes, the open cab versions did seem to be more common, most had some sort of convertible roof or just a tonneau cover that snapped into place. You're lucky, to have one in your area, we don't seem to have ice cream trucks in our Texas neighborhood, not like Jersey!
Quarter Gauger 48 - Thanks for the Good Humor signs, have those downloaded and ready to try. Kids having trouble with the name as you described must have been common...my Mom and Dad used to kid me that when I was small and the bells rang on the truck in the street in front of the house I would jump up and down yelling..."Good Zoomer, Good Zoomer"!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend guys

Speaking of the Iscream Man, anyone remember Bungalow Bar? Trucks like Good Humor but with a pitched cedar shake roof on the refrigerator box.

Sidehack: "Good Zoomer, Good Zoomer" (see my prior post!)...Great truck and yes I certainly remember the open top versions. This is also a really detailed version, who is the maker?
Anyway...here's hoping we all get to see the ice cream man again this summer!!
