Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Cool Cars: 1937 Studebaker Coupe Express

Posted January 06, 2011 8:30 AM by dstrohl

Most readers seemed to appreciate the 1953 Studebaker Kart Hauler that was our Hemmings Find of the Day last week week, but some weren't very keen on it. Customs aren't for everybody, we understand, but the concept of a Studebaker coupe-turned-pickup is not without precedent, as we see from this 1937 Studebaker Coupe Express, a car that came from the factory with a passenger car nose and pickup utility. From the seller's description:

"This Studebaker Model was One of the First to successfully meld Car-Like Comfort and Styling with Pickup Stamina and Utility. It was Created utilizing the Dictator Passenger Car Frame, Running Gear, and Cab. It is powered by an L-Head Six Cylinder Flathead Motor, and mated to a 3spd Manual Transmission with Centrifugal Overdrive."
