Model History[]

In 2019 the casting was retooled for easier assembly. The former metal cab and plastic body was merged to become fully plastic. The MB778 number applies to both the original version and the retooled version.

Card description[]

  • The heat is on; it's 90 in the shade, The Ice Cream Van has begun its crusade, To cool the kids who are making a scene, They're all screaming for ICE CREAM!
    -From the 2010 and 2011 City Action cards
