About Wagonaire Registry
I am a relative newcomer to the Studebaker hobby, having only been active for six or seven years. My first Stude was a Wagonaire and, while I have owned and sold some Larks and Hawks, the Wagonaire is still my first love. Unique and a joy to own and drive, Wagonaires present a few special issues that I hope this Registry will help to address. In addition to providing a listing of known Wagonaire survivors, I hope this site will give Wagonaire owners a place where they can interact with other owners in pursuit of answers, parts, or just fellowship.
A few years ago my son-in-law surprised me at Christmas with the gift of a logo he had designed for me with the name “Wagonaire Man.” It has stuck ever since. So naturally, when I was offered the opportunity to be the caretaker of a registry for the 1963 through 1966 Wagonaires, I jumped at the chance.
Now I have to be honest and give credit to my daughter, Kelly, for helping build the website. It has been a fun experience to have this joint project as a special reason to visit and work together often. We plan to continue developing some additional features for the site over the next several more months, mainly because we enjoy working on it together.
I will do my best to keep the site current, and welcome all suggestions on how to add to or improve on the site. Explore and enjoy!

Studebaker’s Unique Flip-Top Box
Published in Turning Wheels magazine in February of 1982, this authoritative article by Mr. Fox will answer many questions about the various changes in the Wagonaire from 1963 through 1966. Mr. Fox is well known for his detailed, extensively researched articles on various Studebaker automobile models. He was kind enough to permit publishing the article in the Registry.
