redreattaruss Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This 1938 or so coupe has resided in the parcel next door in Southern Oregon for years. It's not your Chevy or Ford. Has an unusual rear window.Any idea what it is? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studemax Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Mid - 30's Studebaker, probably a Dictator or a President.The window is the giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1957_Buick_Roadmaster_75 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Looks like a 1937 President Coupe (found on a Google search) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleach Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's a '36. Headlights mount to the fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_Edwards Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well, I was wrong! It is a 1936 Studebaker Dictator Coupe. Headlight mountings for '37 are not on fenders like the '36. Rear window for '36 and '37 coupes were identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 They had some really handsome ads for them, too. I've had this stunner for many years...Very smart, indeed!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1957_Buick_Roadmaster_75 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I do stand corrected :eek: I did not see the headlight mount to the fenders. such a small thing makes such a big difference... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_Edwards Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 One has to wonder how in less than ten years following WWII how all the car makers that eventually became American Motors could have messed up so badly in a market with a pent up demand that should have carried all of them safely into the late 1950s. Under styling, over styling, and failure to see the horsepower race was about to begin are the only explanations as all were more than capable of building good cars.

They did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_Edwards Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) You aren't suggesting that Studebaker became part of American Motors, are you? They did not.I should have said American Motors and Studebaker-Packard given the thread was about identifying a car that turned out to be a Studebaker. Unfortunately the outcome for both was the same, it just took AMC a bit longer.

Studemax Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 But Studebakers are WAY cooler than that Kenosha stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 But Studebakers are WAY cooler than that Kenosha stuff....Yeah, most of that Kenosa stuff was quite dull and uninspiring by the 60's, except for the Marlin and Javelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redreattaruss Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Excellent detective work. I never considered a Studebaker. And I should know, I own a '54 Starliner. Thanks. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
