Can someone please help decipher a body i.d. tag on a Studebaker chassis for me?
It reads as follows:
<center>37AQ-1
2039</center>
Unless I am mistaken, I thought Studebaker did not use their two-digit year prefix until 1956, not as early as 1937.
I understand the Q-1 means 3-passenger coupe, either "Regular" or "Custom" depending on the year & the 2039 is the production sequence of that particular body style.
A "7A" would be a 1938 Commander, so then, where does the "3" come into play??
Would this car be a 1937,'38 or another model year?
Thanks much.
