Fred,
Do you know the history and evolution of the Model A Ford Huckster?
I am in process of preparing my Book 2, or Part 2, of my Model A/AA Ford production series of 3 books and Part 2 is dealing with the Commercial Model A vehicles.
Each assembly plant ordered or was sent from Dearborn a series of Commercial chassis of which were assembled onto specific Commercial type Model A body styles.
The left-over chassis were then sent to Independent Body Builders (IBB) so as to build and assemble their own bodies.
How did "huckster" come to be?
Were there Model AA Truck "hucksters"?
Any information would be useful for inclusion in Part 2 within the (IBB) section.
Thanks Fred.

As that fact goes...if any of you can add to information on the "huckster", that would be great.
