A 1965 Ford Good Humor pickup truck. From that experience, the largest consumers if ice cream on my route were actually not kids, but auto shop techs!
The truck was so old that it did not have a recording, it had a series of little bells and a hanging wand, and I was supposed to ding them when I pulled in. All these burly greasy guys would come lumbering out and purchase ice cream during the warm months.
