About the Piper J-4 Cub Coupe
The Piper J-4 Cub Coupe is a late-1930s two-seat classic that differs from the J-3 by seating its occupants side-by-side rather than in tandem, with a fuller, more enclosed cabin. Built from 1938 to 1942, it offered a more comfortable, "coupe-like" cabin while keeping the simple Cub-family construction. Surviving J-4s are sought-after prewar collector aircraft.
