Description of 1937 Studebaker J5

1937 Studebaker J5 Coupe Express truck

Coupe Express trucks seldom appear for sale.

Most that do require "extensive" over-haul and a ton of body work.

On the scale of 1 to 5 with #1 being valued in the $70 to $100k bracket, #5 condition

trucks have been priced at $10k to $18K in recent years.

Complete but needing restore prices have risen upwards of $18 to $30,000.

Truck shown now 85% to 90% completed
