1937 Studebaker Coupe Express Pickup 0 0

Description
Dragged out of the woods in Maine all shot full of holes and rusted out. First year that Studebaker produced a pickup truck. Approximately 3,000 built as pickups. This Coupe Express was rebuilt from the shadow on the ground up. 4 wheel hydroboost power disc brakes, power windows, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt column. All the nice goodies for going down the highway in style. Mostly built in a one man shop at Deep-N-Hock Acres.. Painted in original shade of municipal yellow. It now cruises in southeast Georgia near Savannah. Member SDC: www.studebakerdriversclub.com Member Dixieland cruisers: www.DixielandCruisers.org Fun ride.... Y'all c'mon down and we'll go for a cruise! Jeff PS: Runs great on Texaco regular unleaded gas!

This is a truly unique Truck. A little bit old, A little bit new. Built to go any where and be comfortable doing it. Turn a few heads along the way there. A one of a kind Truck..

The Studebaker 1937 Coupe Express is truly a car for all decades. Studebaker led the way in 1937 for car-like pickups;design come-latelys include the 1957 Ford Ranchero, the 1959 El Camino, the 1960 Ford Falcon Pickup, and the 1982 Chevy S-10, to name a few.

Studebaker was always ahead of the times with both its car and truck designs, both esthetically and mechanically. Although out of manufacture for over 40 years, today Studebaker has the only owners club that is true to it's marque and it's name "The Studebaker Drivers Club". A testament of of its strength is a world wide membership of over 14,000 that love and drive their cars and trucks.

What a great looking truck. Like most Art Deco things in the 1930's, the design is fantastic. And with the passenger car front end, it shows how advanced Studebaker was when they could beat Ford and GM to the Ranchero/El Camino market by 20+ years. This truck has a great stance without resorting to chopping the cab. The yellow color is also perfect for this truck.
