Is This really a 36 Chevy Coupe Pickup?

I remember a few of those"cars"back when I was growing up back in the mid 50`s.I was about 10 years old so I don`t know if they were factory or home brew.Nice find.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

that was done at aero body there in joplin when it was brand new---i am having trouble coming up with his name ---he dad a chauffeur driven mercedes limo, had an apartment that took up 1/2 of a city block on the second story of that white stucco warehouse north east of the scottish rite temple---his grand kids wanted to ride in a pickup and that was as pickup as he got---porters that had the buick/cady dealership got really mad about it--his son in law was a big car collector there in joplin, steve chenault was the manager of it at one time....

 

I just came across what appears to be a bed for these old chevy coupe/trucks up the road from the enid auction saturday

 

I have a 39 Hudson coupe here with a bed that is mounted on rollers,come from Hudson that way.

 

Found a little information for '37 on here: http://home.znet.com/p1937/Ute.htm

Somewhere I've seen a whole bunch of original brochure pictures of the coup pickups but can't find them now.

A few scans of information for '38 here http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/...arian-beauty-of-chevrolets-1938-coupe-pickup/

Can't find much for the '36 model though.

 

the reason these were made , in some states a farm pick-up avoided gas and sales tax

 

Hi. generally the coupe pickup was a business coupe that had the addition of the pickup bed. To my knoledge these were both factory options & dealer added options in the day. They both have the small side glass for the quarter windows as in your photo. These coupe/pickups are very desirable vechiles.
The Vintage Chevrolet Club of America featured 2 of these a few months ago in their members bi-monthly magazine "Generator & Distributor".

Here is my 37 Chevy Ute (or officially utility coupe), it was built by Holden. I think these look countless times better than the pickup bed jammed into the back of a coupe. I imported it to US. Picture from last year at Bonneville Speedweek:

 

Love the RHD Ozzie 37 Chevy utility!

 

I have one of these pickup boxes.

 

I have one of these pickup boxes, [email protected]

 

I have one of these pickup boxes, it has the chevy name on tailgate. [email protected]

 

No my box is much different and has chevy on the tail gate, [email protected]

 

I have one of these pickup boxes on the tailgate Chevrolet in cursive writing. I have it mounted on a 1927 Buick ratrod I built in 1990 before ratrods were thought of. [email protected]

 

Here's a real Ozzie one

 

here is a photo of the model A, I painted last year.

 

.......That's just great, Earnest, but how about no more pictures of your R..R.. and I sure as hell wouldn't be bragging on it.

 

The true meaning of a design flaw . It looks great , probably served the purpose well but , there’s a lot of wood to rot when it gets wet in an early Chebbie . I guess probably why I have never seen on where I reside on this rock .

 

I believe it was 1937 here when Chevy went to the turret top (Steel) and did away with wood . Here's a restorer friends '35 Master coupe ute that he rebuilt, LOTS of work. Same body as 36s with suicide doors however different front sheet metal. Sort of a FUGLY! body

 

There is one listed on eBay ,less the box, that seems to show where the tail pan is cut and hinged to allow for the box to slide in ?

 

This pickup appeared in 1936. It was also known as the Express Pickup or even Gentleman's pickup. The Great Depression may have ended. However, families were still looking to economize, even with their household vehicles. The Chevrolet Coupe Pickup could serve as a family car and as a regular pickup. In terms of design, you can quickly spot the family car features married to the pickup bed.

The Master body size was larger than the standard coupe pickup version. The pickup bed extends from Coupe's trunk lid on the Master body. This is a rare pickup, which is on the collector's radar. 1946 saw the end of production for the Chevrolet Master Coupe Pickup.

 

I don't know if Sears offered a pickup conversion kit but my Dad had a Montgomery Ward one in his 35 Ford 5W coupe.
