Hey yeah, this remindes me!  I think I mentioned it
about a year ago, but let me mention it again.

The snow's finally starting to melt here in northern Vermont,
and every day as I pass through the tiny hamlet of North
Wolcott I pass a "retired vehicle and parts dealer" where sits a breadloaf
rescue candidate painted in the Ben & Jerry
theme - much as you describe.  Not too too surprising; B & J
is located in Waterbury, VT, about 25 miles down the road
(go down to 15, then south on 100).
