what car is this from the mid 30s?

I think the picture was taken in 1937-8 as the boy in the picture (Jerry Daniels) was born in 1934. I thought they had a 1936 Studebaker but this doesn't look like the right grill or wheels.

Thanks.  I thought all 1938 Studebakers had headlights built into the fender rather than the bullet headlight mounted by the engine side panel, but now I see 38s had both styles.

The 'base' Commander (production 19,260) used the regular lights like the car in the pic. The State Commander (production 22,053) and the President and State President (production 5,474) had the built-in lights.  The price difference between the base model and State Commander was $75.
