I have one of each. My huffy Rail is unrestored 1969 with the city sticker. Also have a 1970 stingray in parts. I
will get a photo of my 1969 w/5speed. Do have a good restorer that you could recomend?

You mean the City Slicker? Was that the neat extra shifter handle that activated the rear brake to leave a big black patch of rubber on the street?
I restored mine myself. There are rather easy to do. I used a wire brush and drill to strip the frame. The main expense was rechroming and polishing the stainless. As for paint, it turned out that when the paint store did the photo analysis of the color, it was a dead on match for 1970 International Truck Schoolbus Yellow. I had them make it up into individual spray cans since I don't have a spray gun or compressor. There are a lot of people reproducing the decals and graphics for these bikes. But remember before removing or disassembling anything, always take a ton of photos, especially of any graphics. Place a ruler next to the decals in the photo - so you can blow the photo back up to the right size if you're having a decal maker reproduce them for you.
Let's see the bike!
Frank, do the Huffy's have a single color or does it fade from one color to another like the photo above?
(Huffys were cool, my little brother had one)
