Vehicle description
This is a rare chance to own a part of American history and is one of the greatest examples of achieving the American Dream. The Genuardi family is from the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania and started a fruit and vegetable delivery company in the 1920"s. They expanded to one grocery store in the 1940"s and transformed it into a major supermarket chain, which was sold to Safeway foods in the 1990"s. *Rare* 1931 Chevrolet Canopy Express Huckster Depot Hack. One of the finest examples I"ve seen and feel privileged to own. AE Universal Independence Body. Restoration was completed in the 1960"s and my neighbor acquired it in the 1970"s. I purchased the truck from him in 2017, after many years of admiring it sitting in his garage during my family"s occasional walks. After sitting untouched for 20 years I was able to purchase it . Original drivetrain , rebuilt fuel system, rebuilt original charging system and cables. I fabricated the rear bed rails to accept wooden crates and added the artificial fruits and vegetables to recreate the original intension. Rails and crates can be removed easily to create an open bed. The graphics are decals that can be removed and redesigned to suit your particular needs. The last picture shown is of the Canopy Express before it was restored in the 60"s, displaying its original graphics. Starts and drives wonderfully. Clear title stating 1930, but from my research this is a 1931 AE Universal Independence. This Truck gets more attention then anything I ever owned and deserves to be in a major collection or museum.
