Produce Huckster Truck
MODEL
This produce peddler's truck was owned and operated by Dominic "Micky" Licavoli in St. Louis MO. It is a combination of a 1937 Chevrolet truck chassis and a 1920s era custom-built wood coach. Peddling wares was very common in the city up until the 1950s when large supermarkets became the preferred choice of shopping. The drivers had regular routes and knew their customers' needs. Often, trucks were equipped with a bell or whistle to announce their arrival, in addition to yelling very loudly. Edward Linhart donated this truck to the Museum in 1960. Museum volunteers completed their meticulous restoration of the truck to running order in 2018. Hear more here.
