​If you’ve ever spotted a tiny, quirky black van rolling up to the farmers market and thought, Wait… what is that?!—you’re not alone. Our Daihatsu Atrai Classic K-Vans turn heads everywhere they go. They’re rare, charming, and the perfect way to serve up our ice pops.
 

So, What’s the Story?
These vintage microvans were originally built for Japan’s tight city streets, where efficiency and practicality rule. Both of ours are 1998 Daihatsu Atrai Classic K-Vans, imported from Japan and given a second life as ice popmobiles.
 

 

 

 

A few fun facts for the curious:
  •    Right-Hand Drive: Yep, the steering wheel is on the right side, just like in Japan and the UK. It’s perfectly legal to drive in the U.S., but it definitely catches people off guard.
  •    Two Vans, Twice the Fun: We now have two of these little black beauties—one standard and one with turbo and 4WD, because even ice pop vendors deserve a little extra boost.
  •    Engine? Under the Seats! Instead of a traditional hood, the engine is tucked under the front seats, making these vans compact yet surprisingly capable.
  •    Not Built for Speed: These vans top out around 60 mph, but we keep them off the highway for safety. They’re meant for local roads, where they shine as the ultimate slow-and-steady market cruisers.
  •    Eco-Friendly with a Side of Nostalgia: Instead of buying new, we gave these classics a fresh purpose. Less waste, more charm, and a vending setup as unique as our pops.
  •    Mini but Mighty: They may be compact, but they fit everything we need—freezers, supplies, and plenty of ice pops. The back hatch flips up into a perfect pop-up serving window.
