I think you guys are correct about some of the hucksters being painted green in the old days. But I like them to be just the wood showing without any paint on them.

I restored an original steel clad 1928 huckster and it was fully painted back in the day. But when restored, I could not bring myself to cover all the lovely oak, so just painted all the steel parts. Later I sold it to Progresso Foods. They turned it into a vegetable truck to use in their TV commercials, and painted over my oak. Oh well.
