Sounds like it may have been. But it wouldn't have taken a "delete" option to eliminate the overdrive, it wasn't standard equipment - so it simply wasn't ordered.

There is so little information on these Business Cars that anything new would be welcome, they've kind of escaped the usual study. If anyone comes across any bona fide examples, it would be nice to hear more. I'm curious how they extended the rear tread on the 1502 Business Cars; if anyone has a parts list for 1937 Super 8, would you take a look and see if it had it's own unique rear axle housing and longer axles, or if they used some sort of spacers plus longer axles It would also be interesting to know for how many years they used the longer rear tread and modified wheel wells - perhaps only thru 38 as that was the end of that body as far as the Super Eight is concerned.
