Looks great, what did you have against replacing with more red and blue tires? ...very patriotic.
 
Update on the trike. Box has been stripped to bare metal. Body work done. Still a little dinged but it has character. 95% paint completed. Undercarriage is assembled and hoping to get it finally assembled tomorrow.

95% complete after almost 3 years of restoration. I need to build out a new chain guard, put on a smaller diameter chain ring for easier peddling and install hinges and handle for the front hatch. Magnetic signs on the way.

Looking good man. That ride is chill! Ok, I admit I had to go back to 1985 for the analogy. But it really looks sweet. Oh! There’s another one!
 
NICE LOOKING RESTORATIONS!
WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN 1950, I USED TO WORK IN A BIKE SHOP, WHERE THERE WAS A FLEET
OF THESE ICE CREAM CARTS. I DID CLEANUP AND LOADING THEM WITH ICE CREAM GOODIES
AND DRY ICE. AND ULTIMATELY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY OF USING THEM TO SELL ICE CREAM
IN CHICAGO. WE WERE BANNED FROM THE PUBLIC PARKS, BUT DID WELL ON THE FRINGES.
Do you mind telling me what was the name of that business and any other info about them. I purchased 7 Acorn bikes in pretty good shape supposedly came from that area and we want to find out more history on them. Supposedly there were more this was all the family had hung on to. They think the name was Mr Ice cream or something similar.

THE SHOP OWNER WAS MIKE ABT. HE WAS A FORMER SCHWINN BICYCLE RACER. THE SHOP WAS ON THE NNORTHEAST CORNER OF ADDISON AND ASHLAND IN CHICAGO.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE GOT THE ICE CREAM CART BICYCLES. THAT WAS OVER 70 YEARS AGO. I DON'T REMEMBER IF THERE WAS NAMES ON THE CARTS.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
