Good Day for a Good Humor
A vintage Good Humor ice cream truck remained along Soundview Drive as passersby young and younger stopped to peruse the classic collection of frozen treats. The Good Humor company began to deliver ice cream in converted Model T Fords in the late 1920s, according to the Company, and continued to innovate up until they began to use the Ford F-100 series trucks that we can still see today - most popular due to their being sold-off in the 1970s. The Good Humor Man, and in this case: woman - rang their bells on many of the Westport community’s hottest days along the waterfront for decades. Today was no exception. WestportLocal.com photo

Bringing the Board to the Beach: A Classic Compo Scene
A 1960s Ford Galaxie 500 convertible sat atop the sand with a board sticking out from it’s cabin, a timeless scene as many flocked to the shoreline today in whatever vehicle could afford them the most air flow - or in this case - the best headroom. WestportLocal.com photo
