1937 Studebaker Coupe Express The Master Wagon Makers First Pick Up Over A Century`s Experience Building Cargo Haulers When the Studebaker family immigrated to the United States from Germany in the late 18th century, they brought with them their wagon making skills. By the late 1830s, the Studebaker name stood for quality and craftsmanship in the wagon making trade in Gettysburg, PA. Although the Studebaker Motor Company and made some heavyduty trucks previously, 1937 marked their debut in the pick up arena. With design suggestions from famous styling consultant Raymond Loewy, the Coupe Express was a hybrid, melding the best features of a car and a truck. Studebaker accomplished this by using their best-selling Dictator passenger car, including features such as vented side windows and whitewall tires, and added a heavy duty pick up bed to the back.
