Here's mine (previously posted) with the top up :-). It's a Road Champs and comes with the dog and cases of Good Yumah treats.
The uniformed driver, Chef Chuck Wagon, and a Boy Named Sous Chef are sold separately. The Hot Dog roof came from the Dollar Tree.

I recall them from Queens, NY in the 60's and 70's

Joe, I remember them well, We had them, Goodjummer, and Mr. Softee, too, in Patchogue, and surrounding towns. LI, Suffolk County, NY...
With some new road construction going on, the traffic backed up into the city...and with the warmer weather, the convertibles were out for a spin

Are there that many 1/48 scale plastic vehicle models out there?

That's a good question - I really don't know. I bought 3 similar plastic model kits (4 total) about a year ago from a fellow forum member who never got around to building them, thinking it would give me something to do this winter.
I've built a ton of planes, boats and 1/24th and 1/25th scale auto's from Revel, AMT, Johan, etc. over the years and figured I would give one of these a shot. I can tell you though, that being so small, these are more difficult to paint and build. Despite doing this off and on for over 50 years, I never got around to buying an airbrush kit, so everything is by hand or rattle can.
However, I got sidetracked this winter designing and constructing a long extension and reversing loop for my layout this winter (the thread is on the Forum) and am just now getting around to building the models during this health crisis. I'm also simultaneously building a Korber Roundhouse for the new reversing loop, so things are going slowly.
Ray, and Lee, I could never see paying $125 plus shipping for a Brooklin. The main reason, the brooklin's, metal headlights. No chrome on the windshield frames and other places that should have it. Especially on the 50s models. The body lines are right on. But the missing details spoil the overall appearance. So, I never got concept of the Brooklin's. Some do have the details, but still the metal headlights. And are way overpriced...

Tamiya has quite a few in 1/48, mostly military, Ray. Years back Revell and Monogram, had many. I don't see them much now days'...
Ted. You are right I think the most I’ve paid was around $75.00. I have some 1/48 Tamiya military trucks I’ve build I think I’ve posted them here. I built a CCKW 353H-1 Dump Truck using a Tamiya “Jimmy” with a Dump Bed conversion kit I think it’s here in a early post. Anyway here it is

You did a great job on that truck Lee. And you just reminded me of several trucks (Tamyia) I have to finish up'... I just hope they come out half as good as yours'....
Thanks Ted I also have a Opel Blitz with a 38 Flak gun I mounted on the back of it I will post it later. I like you have lots to get started also and finish as well
Lee, I agree nice looking truck...Ted, the least they could do is have chrome where it is painted instead, they must charge by the ounce they are very heavy.
