Our History
The journey of this restoration started when I was in H.S. I worked for my neighbor who owned the truck. On weekends, I would work events until my senior year when I was able to drive. I had so much fun driving this
truck meeting people. One of my first events was a Car Show at Union County
College in Cranford, NJ. After the summer of my senior year, I moved on to other
jobs but in the back of my mind I always thought about driving the truck again.
Fast track to 2010 my old neighbor contacted me about purchasing one of the old trucks. With the help from my family I was able to purchase the vehicle. I am grateful to have the help from my parents, my brother Mike (who is in the auto restoration business) and friends. It took 3 years of research and hundreds of hours to restore the classic 1966 Good Humor Truck. The truck was stripped down to the frame and sand blasted to remove all the paint. The truck was rewired front to back, A new compressor was installed which keeps the box at -20 degrees. The engine was also refurbished to original specs. The original 16" split rims were replaced to a safer updated rim and tire.
We have received numerous trophies from various Car Shows around the state. The best thing about driving this truck is hearing all the stories of when they were a kid, it never gets old. This truck takes people back in time. I hear the same story at every event“I remember my Good Humor Man! His name was Bob or John or
Mike. They all remember the name. They also remember the "Klunk" sound of the door closing. The most memorable sound is those famous bells mounted above the windshield going " Ring, Ring, Ring…". We have the same uniform they wore, all white with the Black Sam Brown Belt with the coin changer, and the famous white hat!
