Vehicle Description
This 1931 Chevrolet Huckster is a half-ton pickup powered by a
straight-6 engine. It was purchased (unrestored) with boxes of
unidentified miscellaneous parts in 1993 at a small used car and
truck lot in Gettysburg, PA. No history was provided. It was
trucked to a shop in Baltimore, MA, which reportedly had previously
won a national AACA championship. Over 5 years, the truck was
totally torn down and restored part by part. The complete file
(unsorted) of the restoration work, including the source and costs
of parts (like white oak) and labor comes with the truck. Upon
completion of the restoration the restorer, with the owner's
consent, entered the truck in AACA competitions, leading to a
national championship in the junior division in 1998, receiving 987
points. The award medal, trophy, plaque and judging form are all
available with the truck. It has not been shown in competition
again. Following restoration and competition showings, the truck
was transported to the owner in Breckenridge, CO, where for years
it was exhibited in a Chevrolet dealership showroom and garaged.
Its only public appearances were in periodic parades. When the
owner moved, the truck was transported to Denver, CO, and garaged
full time, except for periodic maintenance.
