Here's a slick little Mickey Mouse ice cream truck. What could bring more light into a childs eyes than Mickey Mouse AND ice cream? Not much, says I...
Mickey's left arm is a casualty, but he can still steer that thing like a sumbitch!
....he apparently got this bad boy up to a speed which blew the canopy cleaaaaaaaaaan off. Little speed demon rodent.
Speaking of speed, Mickey was apparently also into drag racing. Seems he blew a tire on this one...hell, the whole dang wheel...
Coolest of all of these little Disney automobiles, this one is die-cast metal and features NOT just representatives of Disney's big 3 (Mickey and Donald) but they're getting chauffered by Pinocchio hisself. Those feature film stars always had to cater to Disney's short subject stars.
Here, in the "Nutty Mads" tradition, monochromatic, plastic extrusion mold, estra sturdy Disney pals! M-I-C...K-E-Y.....M-O-U-S-E!

"Quack, quack, quack, Donald Duck, Gee I think he's cute! Quack, quack, quack, Donald Duck, in his sailor suit!".
And Pluto. Couldn't talk, didn't wear clothes, walked on all fours and ever had a song of his own. So sad.
Goodbye Mickey! I'm sure there's more of you in the toy box.
Talk to you soon.
I was an Ice-Cream Man sumbitch at one time~ and seeing Mickey in that truck brought back a freezer full of sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, though, is the one with Pinocchio. What a shameful way to spend his twilight years, catering to a rat & a duck~!
I hope the memories didn't include the continuous loop of whatever tinkly jingle played on your truck. I'm thinking the nightmares of that would drive any normal man insane.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff!
