Blue Truck Ice Cream is a vintage Ice Cream Truck. We sell Ice Cream Novelties. We go up and down the streets of Salida and Poncha Springs, ringing our bells. We do events; including birthdays, weddings, BBQ’s, any event you can think of. The Truck is a 1929 Dodge B Series and belonged to Scott’s Grandfathers. Walter Madison Bought the truck in 1950, in Salida, at Chaffee County Motor Company located at 1448 F Street where Atmos gas is now. The Truck was originally a ranch truck to go over to Villa Grove to check on the cows; and bring them to Salida to the sale barn. The truck sat in a field across the street from Scott’s childhood home on Palmer from the 60’s until 1997. From then Scott had the truck (affectionately named “Walter”) repainted and the seat recovered.; that is the only restoration which has been done.
Cindy Martinez, of a family which has been in Salida for a couple of generations, always wished Salida had an Ice Cream Truck. A few years ago Scott and Cindy started and today Blue Truck Ice Cream remains on the road…
“When you hear the ring, your taste buds Sing!”
We removed the pickup bed and replaced the back with a custom made reefer to keep the Ice Cream. We look forward to all the smiles in Salida and Poncha Springs.
