1938 Studebaker Coupe Express Truck

K5 - 1/2 Ton


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

1938 was a low production year with under 1100 produced. 

 

Dashboard features full instrumentation w/embossed Art Deco font numbers &


lettering, adding vintage class. Nestled in the dashboard is a spring-loaded door 


providing access to an ashtray and spot for a cigarette lighter.

 



In the 86 year of this Coupe Express Truck, body work, repair and paint to this

truck was done.



The sheet metal, body parts & paint are in excellent condition


This truck has 1936 style headlight buckets. There is no documentation by "anyone" verifying that Studebaker, in its infinite wisdom didn't just use up inventory and tried something different. Most today seek out the "car" cathedral lights making the truck look different as well. 


Either way, the K5 offered is a unique example for a 2nd year Coupe Express offered by Studebaker that is a good, running example for show!

Disclosure!

 


At some point in 85 years, the truck has had rework done to the floor! The frame is in VG condition. Underside discoloration is due (1) age, & (2) no undercoating.


Unless the truck is off the floor & on a lift to view the underside, you can not tell the original floor had rust repair done. The "existing" floor is solid and difficult to identify that any work had been done.
