Very Cool!

 My daughter, Victoria, and I saw two of these trucks down in Washington, D.C. this past Monday. Both looked great and were out side of the museums.

 I Love Americana!!! Anything that is lovingly restored to original!

How cool is that! Thanks for posting.

what was the prices of the Ice cream? Did they have the Candy Center Crunch with the chocolate center?[My Favorite!]

I don't remember how I got the job, but one summer, early 60's I got to sell ice cream using the old pedal powered ice cream TRIKE.  The one that I used wasn't fancy like the

one in the photo, but it was a COOL job, pun intended.   Killian

POW/MIA YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

Good Humor bars & cream sickles were 10 cents & fudge sickles and pop sickles were 5 cents ea.  The Good Humor truck came up our street at noon & around 6 in the evening.  Did you guys collect pop sickle sticks?  Boy those were the days. 

I still collect pop sickle sticks, but then I end up loosing them.   Killian

POW/MIA YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

Actually, only Bungalow Bar came around my Bronx neighborhood in trucks.

You had to walk up to the playground in Claremont Park to find the Good Humor man with his pushcart.

On the Lower East Side, that, I could remember in the late '40's and into the mid. '50's, before moving away, we had both Bungalow Bar and Good Humor, trucks and pushcarts.

I guess, we were lucky.

Also, my Father had a repair shop for phonographs, radios and televisions and one of my Uncles placed his ice-cream freezer outside of my Dad's store.

Between, my Cousins, Friends, my Brother and I, we all ate up the profits, until the adults got wise and put a stop to it!!!

DELICIOUS!!!!!!

A little history of the company is located here. The original building in which the ice cream bars were first made has housed many other businesses, most recently an electronics parts store (Ross Radio). Now it is being renovated to serve a new purpose.

growing up in Queens(specifically Whitestone) we didn't see the Good Humor truck that often-- we had Mr. Softee most of the time. Always thought that was a neat job--- till I grew up and realized how hard it actually was to run that business.
