What is the serial number under the bottom crank housing? Let's start from there. Looks like a customized '39 to me.
 
Like everyone else stated, a 1939 DX. Very nice bike! But I think the original headlight was a front loaded torpedo light such as the Delta, not a top loaded unit. Also, I do not think those type of pedals came originally on that bike. It would be interesting to see if the crank is dated "39." Again, congrats on the bike!
 
what about the handlebars

Likely either Boy Scout or SB 26x8, those on it now are more hip anyway.

Agree with all of the above: 39 model because of the straight down tube and drop stand. The cranks were often bent/replaced so personally I take that date with a grain of salt. And yes a front loader delta not the top loader that is on there.

Most importantly of all - awesome machine.
