#519 - 1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire
VIN: 63V-23439 (S/N)
Odometer: 87436
Engine: 283ci V8
Trans.: 3-spd Manual (column)
Claimed by many to be the first "Cross-over" vehicle, the Studebaker Wagonaire certainly crossed some design boundaries with the unique retractable roof. That feature was advertised as being able to carry a full-size refrigerator in an upright position... Picture that, if you will.
This 1963 model is a nice example of the first year release. It shows a few signs of being 61 years old, but still runs and drives very well. The V8 starts right up and the transmission gladly delivers power to the drive-train. These one-of-a-kind Studebaker Wagonaires get attention wherever they go and are sure to start a conversation.
