  • M-5 is a Coupe Express ?

    Unlike Studebaker's 1937-1939 Coupe-Express models, which were car-pickup hybrids, the 1947 Studebaker M-5 Coupe Express descended from a line of true trucks. Despite its collectability, this model has its drawbacks.

    I was talking to one of our members and he told me about the M-5 being a Coupe Express I never knew that so he sent me this article. Boy you learn something new every day.

      Now there a coincidence![:0] I just happened to be reading Fred Fox's article on Studebaker pickups in the October 2005 issue of TW and noted the same thing earlier this afternoon. Small world.

        This is another one of those "I could, and probably am, wrong" moments. I think the Coupe Espresses went from J-5 (1937) to M-5 (1947), or something like that.[?]

            Anne--

            I didn't get it initially either...in one of the posts the word "earlier" shows up with the "l" having been kicked out of it...
