My '75 Sprint. Owned it 22 yrs. Darn good car. Was silver, then white. Got the side marker light bezels chromed. Center caps did not say "Chevrolet Motor Division" because... well you know.

Was referred to as a business coup. I would love too have a Studebaker coup Express. But haven't found a nice one in my price range .

Willy's also made a nice one.

Years ago I had one of these, 84 dodge rampage, this one is not mine, but just like it.

And I have this old el camino

I do know of a Ranchero that could be had for almost free. It's been there since the 80's. People have taking things off it. Supposedly went off the road burned and was left there. Its just outside of hunter on a very winding steep grade road on the way to Woodstock . Been a favorite road of mine for motorcycle rides.

Thats a business coupe alright but what i am thinking of is an actual tray that fit in the trunk but extended out and looked like a pkup bed. I believe it was Chevy coupes of the late 30’s seems like and sold by Chevy dealers.
I know Tim is bound to have a pic of one.

All car company's made them and they pretty much all called them business coups .They were for door to door salesmen . Electrolux and encyclopedia comes to mind

This is what I am talking about.
This particular one is a 37 Hudson Terraplane Utility Coupe. Truck bed in trunk.
If I'm not mistaken Chevy and Plymouth offered them too. It was a neat idea.

Here we go. Chevy offered them in at least 36,40,41,42 and called a Coupe Pickup.
