Business coupes were 2 door cars with HUGE trunks so traveling salesmen could fit product samples, like miniature pianos, sets of dishes, carpet samples etc... but this is the first V12 powered business coupe I ever found. 1937 Lincoln Zephyr

new info about 1937 Chevrolet dealerships installing truck beds in business coupes... I thought that was a thing people had to make for themselves

I've posted about this gas rationing ingenuity before, that a truck was issued more gas rations, and a car less, so some people converted their cars into trucks by just adding a pickup bed where the rumble seat or trunk had been... this is the first I've read about it being done by a dealership... But the owner of this 1937 Chevy business coupe is the 2nd owner and bought this car 40 years ago, so I'll just work with that.
