Yes

Even if there was no ice, any applied force (Fn) to the cars would move it. The real question is how far?
With very high coefficients of friction (uk and us, as stated from previous posts), the cars would move (albeit a very minuscule amount, possibly a couple micrometers).
With very low coefficients of friction, the cars would move a lot more.
