Above: Bubble gum card showing the original, and it was brought back to the Barris shop in the early 70's and they made a few changes. They built a new body, dropped the front end, took off 2 of the fake blowers and put on a windshield http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4460174
Bangshift did a short story on it when it came up on Ebay in March of 2010 http://www.bangshift.com/blog/eBay-Find-The-Barris-Tastee-Freez-T.html
I was just thinking about this car the other day! I remember going to the Tastee Freez in Downey, California in the 70's and sometimes-but not always-it would be there. I forgot about the burger in the back, but remembered everything else! Thanks for finding this and taking me back a long way!
