Big Dave ◊ 2007-10-13 16:37	There was a movie listed a couple of months back featuring a clown driving an Ice Cream truck. I believe it was ID'd as a Ford and I believe the grilles were the same.
DynaMike ◊ 2007-10-13 16:58	Good idea. I think you're referring to this Chevrolet: /vehicle_119347-Chevrolet-Step-Van-1954.html
Big Dave ◊ 2007-10-13 17:24	Thanks for finding it Mike. If it's a Chevy, it's a Chevy. My Ice-Cream man had an early 50s Dodge Business Coupe with a Fridge in place of the trunk lid. Can't remember seeing a grille like this. Maybe only sold on the West Coast.
Q-Ball ◊ 2007-11-06 02:09	It's a 1954 Go to hzsmithmotors.com and go to CLASSIC TRUCKS if you don't believe me.
