You have good taste. That model is called a "Coupe Express" (Model J-5) Built from 1937 to 1939 with a body style change each year. Approximately 3,000 were built in '37, 1,200 in '38, and 1,000 in '39. (The name 'Coupe Express' was used by Studebaker in the 40's on the M series pickup, but it was in the advertisements only..) The Coupe Express pickup trucks shared the body sheet metal from the passenger car, with an all steel pickup bed.. A very desirable, and sought after model. Premium pricing is paid for all models, even rusted hulks. Hope the info helps. Jeff
