IcE Cream any one?

Did not know that DQ had trucks. They did not have such in my hometown. That they did not, I am sure, is what made it a bit of an adventure to go to the Dairy Queen!

29bowtie says "Sillito's" was a bakery in the UK. He posted this truck saying it's a fruit vendor's truck with an apple cab.

I remember the Helms Bakery trucks that would cruise the neighborhoods in SoCal near L.A. They used a distinct whistle like horn that the driver would "toot" while driving around.

This pic,which was just posted by xp-300 is one of the first on HAMB's vintage shots of days gone by. The car in front of the wagon appears to have a rare Kari-Keen trunk with the spare on the trunklid.

[30DodgePanel]

Kari Keen very rare parts indeed.

Found an ole 6 volt steering wheel fan last year made by Kari Keen of Souix City IA circe pre 32. I may put it in my 30 Panel someday since it was period correct for that few short years they were in business.

Love the thread.

This photo was Posted by Dave at Shorpy. Be sure and click on it a few times to get the full effect of the great photographic moment.

[Dave Gelinas (XP-300)]

30DodgePanel:Great addition to this thread.

Dave Mellor NJ: Great insight to the photo in regards to the Kari-Keen trunk.

Post #195, blowing up the picture you can see how AGGRESSIVE the rear tires were.

Yes thats one of my favorites. These photographers did some incredible.

Would really love to have that Graham Bros & Dodge Bros service station sign on the left. Actually, any of those signs would be gems to own.

Funny how they had "drive thru/in" gas stations back then. I'm sure because of the new found popularity and love of the automobile that these types of filling stations were viewed in a similar way that the drive thru burger joint is today. As long as it keeps us going, we don't pay any attention to where they put them or how they are regulated, heck, just put the pump on the porch !.

EPA would have had a field day back then. Another great photographic moment at Shorpy

Do you take trailer pics? Another one from Ehdubya.

Back to trucks

[D Yaros]

I find it interesting that:

The truck has artillery style wheels

That a PINT of ice cream cost all of 15 cents!
