There are very, very few 1938's with a lit tank. I think it is safe to guess that there are less than 5?

A nice Standard is worth up to the 6k area, and the deluxe ones quite a bit more.
There are 3 models, Spring Deluxe, Spring Standard and Fall Standard.
There are 3 complete true Deluxes known, they are the ones with the lit tank (Nick has one), & 14 complete Standards, including this one (plus 6 bare frames or restored as Robins).
Nick spoke to the last two owners of this bike before Dan (including the one that did the "resto"), and there was little interest in doing it correctly, but those things could be corrected- besides the tank, nothing is rare or terribly expensive, parts-wise, on a Standard. The single bolt light on the standard is a little harder to find.
FYI, on April 2016 a CABEr took 2nd place for Bike Of The Year at Ann Arbor with his restored '38 Standard

I'm not a big fan of any of the Bluebirds, but the 38 has to be one of the worst looking bikes out there.
a great example of less is more.

Do $5,000 bikes ride better than $50 bikes? I know $1,000 bikes don't. I have never been on a bike $5,000 or more.

Yeah we see Dan at local swaps all the time, and at MLC/AA, he's good guy, and he works hard.

I suppose it depends on the $50 bike and the $5000 bike. in this case I'm going to say no, the $50 will ride better.
