[3] For the 1939 model year, the Terraplane brand was dropped for both trucks and autos, and the vehicle was called the Hudson Utility Coupe for the rest of its production cycle.

Not only did the utility coupe have power, it also had strength, the complete load capacity being rated for a half ton.

When the box was being pulled out, there were two points in which it could be extended, making the loading and unloading of cargo easier.

The ability to pull the box out is what made the utility coupe capable of being used like a pickup truck.

[1] The Hudson Terraplane Utility Coupe was a business car, especially for salesman who needed to transport their samples.
