Description, Bus Collector Value ($US) and Notes...

Running after the Mister Softee (or Good Humor) ice cream truck is something all of us did as children. Can still remember it was 25¢ for an ice cream cone or one of those red, white and blue Bombcicles!

Imagine my surprise when I discovered this tin friction Mr. Softee ice cream truck with working rear door? I bought it on the spot for a few bucks.

I bought the US Mail version of this truck on eBay a few years ago. At one time after that, a few folks were selling these Mister Softee trucks en mass for a time. a nice piece of work. I always had a fondness for that Mister Softee truck! Matchbox or Hot Wheels came out with it's version and I recieved one from my wife. Push down on the truck and a recording plays the jingle and "Ice cream!, Tastes great!" Can pass for HO gauge.

Addition to my last comment: The truck pictured is 1/43rd scale. The Hot Wheels-Matchbox truck I have in my collection passes for HO gauge and plays the sounds. This truck has the friction motor...but makes no other sounds...
