The 38 Commander Express cruiser was the pivotal boat in the development of fiberglass technology by Chris-Craft Industries. It was the first all-fiberglass cruiser made by Chris-Craft. Its production bridged the past to the future as it was the last design by "Mac" Mackerer who had worked for Chris-Craft as far back as 1925, also working with Fred Hudson, who styled the first 38 Commander. The 38’ Commander Express proved to be a success for Chris-Craft resulting in the production of subsequent sedan and sport fisherman models.
