Definitely a streamliner, but those were available in 37 and 38 too.

Can you tell where the tank straps were located? See the @cyclingday photo above for the 39 style, here is the 37-38 style:

The wing guard and rear fender dart tells us your bike probably isn’t a 37. With that early of a serial I would guess a 38 model but could be 39 as wise Marty points out.
 
Thanks for the info guys! I looked for indications that it would have had a tank but I didn't see ghost markings or distinctive scratches but when I get it home I will post some more pics. I really want to find a front fender for it, what should I look for to tell if it is correct?
 
Cool bike. I vote Johnson's Paste wax and pass on the OA bath... and if you have to clean something up...just take your time on the wheels with some wd40.
