I was spared the horrible "musical" noises coming from those ice cream trucks back in the day. Our town had an ordinance: No ice cream truck music. Period. It was lovely. So our ice cream truck lady had a string of bells attached to the top center of her windshield, which the old lady driver rang with a pullstring. And the truck was that old 70's avocado green color.
Then we also had "the brown truck" old man up until the late 90's that served soft-serve cones and ice slushies. That truck had a single bell that rang every 4-5 seconds, probably electronically actuated. Never encountered anything like this ever again. Old man probably died and took the business model with him to the grave.
