From the left side, it does appear to have a box slid into the trunk/boot.

It Is an optical illusion. I looked at that real close and there is a truck bed in the background lined up to appear as a bed attached to the car.

That is Ed Amans old car. I believe that is a pickup box in the trunk.

This car just went tru ebay last month at $8,500. It had a p/u bed in the trunk area and a cover like a huckster wagon. I hadn't known it had been Ed Aman's. I remember when it was in Rosemead before he moved to Oregon. Sure looked better then, about 45 years ago.

Rex should know better. This car belonged to a fellow (John Leicester) in Pacific Palisades, Ca for over 50 years. He also had a '31 President roadster. A year or so after he died Rick Peterson (who is editor of the Antique Studebaker Review) bought both cars and took the engine out of the coupe and placed the car on ebay (early Sept 2013). While it did not meet the reserve Rick sold it to the Oregon party who now has it listed on ebay for way more than he paid. You can see one photo from Ricks auction below and numerous others here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1931-Studeba...p2047675.l2557

Maybe $100,000 later it could look like this!

Ok Dick I screwed up. Seeing it in Oregon I thought it was Eds. He had 2 in about the same condition.

Bought the 31 President today. Sending it to Allen Barth to redo with my 32 St. Regis Commander....... after he completes a 31 898 Auburn Brougham and 33 902 Packard 5 passenger coupe he has out there for us........some shots attached.

Thank you very much, Mike. I had seen this in prior listings and, each time, wished I had resources to rescue it. I now know it is in good hands.
