[Literally](http://www.gizmag.com/canadian-ice-truck/30263/). A Chevy Silverado pick-up truck had its body removed and replaced with sculpted ice for a [Canadian Tire ad [documentary linked]](http://video.canadiantire.ca/v/1604168342/behind-the-scenes-documentary-of-the-canadian-tire-ice-truck-winter-2013/) for their Eliminator battery. They froze the battery to -40º and used it in the ice-truck. I like the pine tree-shaped ‘air freshener’ made of ice that hangs from the rear-view mirror. Nice touch. Good video called ‘Melt’ in the first link. ---
