This could be considered the "EL Camino" of the 1930s.......simply gorgeous and decades ahead of Chevy and Ford! 🤩

@@What.its.like. Was that the 49 and up models? I think the pilothouse Dodge trucks would give them a run.

Before the Ranchero and El Camino. In the early 70's I built a huge Loafing Shed/building for a dairy farm in Washington State and besides the huge timber framed 1880's 3-story barn on the farm, they had a 37' Studebaker Express Coupe still in service. I have been looking for one ever since, but that was the only one I have ever seen in the past 50-years. Hudson had a similar model.

It shows Studebaker had been making trucks longer than I thought. My trucks of choice would be the 1939 studebaker and the 1948 Hudson BigBoy

14K for a pickup in 2024? Can you imagine the run on them? They couldn't build them fast enuff! I absolutely love how the pointed grille swoops up into the hoodline... that is so beautifully executed! I would love to see a review of a '37 car. Beautiful lines! The window/vent window design is very interesting. Although it was power, it reminds me of the Lincoln power vent window design from the mid-70's onward. The dash is a thing of simple beauty. But what the hell is that radio??? Never saw anything like that before! This has got to be one of my all time favorite designs from this era... '38/'39, not so much 🙂 WYR: 1) '37!!!! 2) '37 Studebaker!

The 37 is truly a beautiful design, but I favor the 39 because it looks like a Continental.

Ford Australia in 1934 built what was called the coupe utility which was a 1934 ford sedan front cab with the tray moulded into the cab . The cab and tray were 1 piece . This is said to be the first production vehicle of this type . In Australia we just call then utes .

It is an absolutely beautiful truck, and I would definitely pick this one, and the Studebaker in the second scenario as well! 😎

Sweet choice totally agree

Don't know what happened but I didn't get the last 3 notifications. I reset that and hope it works now. I totally agree with Jay- this truck (or "Ute" as the Aussies call them) is beautiful in every way. The art-deco styling influence shows in the details including the thin bumperettes. The slim curved laid-back grille looks better than upright ones, and I love how the grille bars sweep over the fenders back to the cab with the sharp thin point of the visual hood deck blending right in. The covered sidemount is a nice touch with the baby moon/ beauty ring wheel trim perfect. Even as nice as the 39 looks for it's year, the 37 just outclasses them all. The only downside I can see is that maintaining the distributor points looks like something only a gymnast could do and I'm too old to flex like that anymore. So WYR one is clinched with this 37 Coupe Express. It would have taken the second round but since I already have one from the first choice, I'll have the 48 Hudson Big Boy to go along with it. Choosing which one to drive each day would be tough! The Terraplanes are neat in their own way but a funky in styling though not in a bad way. Like the Aussies I'm a huge fan of Utes for light-duty truck use which is all that most people need and I do wish they'd come back to the US market again.

there were srude deisel car carries and asst trucks in. The sixties or seventys Hudson had car pickups. Too

But Jay, Ford was the first to the Car-Based Truck market in 1925! They had their One Ton Truck since 1917, but farmers were still buying the regular 5-passenger touring cars, and cutting off the backseat to affix their own beds. Finally, in 1925, Ford introduced the "Roadster Pickup", which rode on the exact same chassis as the regular Model T, making it the first "Car-Based" Pickup Truck. It was basically just a standard Model T Runabout, but with a bed instead of a trunk between the rear fenders! I feel like not enough people know about this historical factoid. 😅

I myself like the 38 and 39 styling better. The 38 Studebaker seems to have round headlights only on the cheaper models. The expensive models have a non-round light, which looks amazing, but I suspect that less light was produced.

Those non-round, kinda rectangular headlamps were a thing with Studes, Plymouths and a few other makes in the late 30's as well as wedge/jewel-shaped ones from Ford & Lincoln in the same era. Then came Washington DC interfering with our lives and mandating only round sealed beams for 1940 & beyond for the next 36 model years.

On the whole I think the shift to sealed beam lights was a good move - they just worked enormously better than what had gone before. But yes, the stylists had things less their own way. In terms of wacky headlights, 39 Dodge and Plymouth we've seen on your shows, and we've now mentioned 38 Studes. I hope you can find the remaining zenith of wacky headlights sometime - the 38 Graham and the 39 Willys.
