This week sees the arrival of the roaring Cool-One, an imaginative version of the famous Chevrolet Step-Van, ice cream van, a vehicle featured in so many American films (IMCB).
This version is part of the 2010 Insectirides 5-Pack and features a pearl-white metal upper body. The lower body is made of dark grey plastic, which extends to form the radiator and headlights (at the front), the exhaust pipes (on the sides of the vehicle), the two lower doors and the bumper (at the rear).
Internally, three plastic elements are embedded: the two windscreen areas in transparent green, the seat and front part of the passenger compartment in tobacco colour, and the two real air ducts peeping out of the vehicle roof.
On the sides of the van is an intricate four-colour screen-printed graphic (yellow, green, gold and black), with the words ‘EXTERMINATOR’ in an arc, flanked by the design of a hornet's head above two crossed shinbones, recalling the pirate flag.
The wheels are PR5 (Phil Riehlman 5-spoke), screen-printed in gold.
