I've always wanted to do a hot rod ice cream truck...

Hey, did anyone else love all the cars in that movie (Indiana Jones/Crystal Skull)??? The 32 roadster with the BRAND NEW small block Chevy???? At the time in the movie, the SBC had only been out a year or two... Isn't that the same as putting a new aluminum corvette motor in an '82 Malibu???

Our neighborhood "Good Humor" man drove a white 55/57 chevy pick-up with the freezer on the back,but itwas just a regular pick up. I think a Cameo MIGHT have been a little too expensive to have as an ice cream truck. At least I never saw one.

I thought the bed was what made the Cameo a Cameo and they were all fleetside style. With the entire bed replaced with a freezer box, what would differentiate it from a standard truck from the same year?

I thought the Cameo was the upgraded pickup truck, with a luxury interior, lots of chrome, whitewalls, full hubcaps, and color sidetrim, and their own model nameplates. When I was very young, my grandmother owned a block of homes and businesses downtown Sharpsville, PA right next door to a Chevy dealer. When the new models were brought in, the dealer hid them all over including my grandmother's storage garage, which got a Cameo and Sharpsville's first Vette. A month before the showroom opening, which was a big deal in those days, I charged my second grade classmates a nickel to see the new Chevy pickup and vette before anyone else. I made a killing, and was living the good life - lol - when I got busted.

When I see the Cameo, I still get chills up my arms remembering walking into the dealership owner to apologize for what I did. I must have been grounded forever, but I didn't get a spanking, as my dad felt at least I showed some enterprise.
