There are still a few that do it this way. Snap-on tools & Mac Tools both drive around with trucks fully loaded with their products.

My brother used to sell Snap-on tools.

I still have loads of Snap-on tools that I purchased almost 40 years ago. They still work like they did when they were brand new. In our shop, we all looked forward to the time each week when the Snap-on guy showed up, and were willing to pay high prices for really excellent tools, delivered by a guy who believed in and stood behind his products.

Good point. One of my neighbors growing up sold Snap-On Tools from a truck, but I totally forgot about that until now.

How about Mr_Haney from Green_Acres.

I guess Good Humor ice cream trucks don't count anymore? I still remember going out to buy fresh fruit and veggies from the trucks with my grandmother.They'd always give us kids a sample.

I enjoy reading some of these Hemmings articles, but never get to trying to read the whole article, since they come up in very fine print, not even my reading glasses will allow, and the photos are small as well.

I'm not sure that before television times were more civil.

One writer I read pointed out that before television Buffalo Hunters shot Native American Children for practice.

When I worked with mechanics on aircraft we were weekly visited by a Snap On tool salesman, and his truck of tools.

It was nice to go on the truck with the guys and shop.

You moved up as you bought tools, and Snap On are great quality tools.

The trucks had the feel of a Bookmobile.
