Vehicle Description
1965 Studebaker Commander Wagonaire. Very rare,, Sliding roof,
Station Wagon. The Studebaker Wagonaire was a station wagon
produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, from
1963 to 1966. It featured a retractable sliding rear roof section
that allowed the vehicle to carry items that would otherwise be too
tall for a conventional station wagon of the era. This is a
Beautiful wagon with the optional 283 Thunderbolt engine producing
195hp, automatic transmission....and of course the rear sliding
roof! These were designed so you could haul something tall in the
rear of the wagon the same as you would be able to do in a pickup
truck. This beauty is Midnight Black outside with red highlights
with black interior. This 283 engine option is the Chevrolet 283
engine that was built in Canada and cost an additional $38.74 over
the regular 259 Studebaker V8 engine. The automatic trans, the
factory air conditioning, the power drum brakes and the power
steering are all options on this Wagonaire. This very rare wagon is
in super nice condition! A show car from one end to the other. Just
purchased a very rare original step for the tail gate that has not
been installed yet.
