The M5 model of the Studebaker truck is a pre-war II vehicle that was first put into production in November 1940 (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_M-series_truck).
A simple look-up of M5 production dates shows that they were produced from 1941 through 1947.
However, this specific truck (Serial No. M5-2409 / Model M5-13) was ordered and registered in 1940 (not 1941), the title and registration of which reflect the 1940 date.
The truck’s NYS registration and inspection certificates are current and it is insured to be on the road.
