1966 Studebaker Wagonaire

Looking around today I noticed that it's been months since we've driven anything new into the Lotto Garage. And strangely enough, for the past few days — for some odd reason — I've been coveting this thing on the internet. That's right, a 1966 Studebaker Wagonaire — a '66 because: a.) it was Studebaker's final year producing cars and that kind of makes it special; and b.) the Wagonaire was introduced for the 1963 model year, so hopefully by this, the fourth year, all of the kinks with the sliding roof were worked out. I remember when I was a paperboy that one of my customers, a Toro salesman, traded his Falcon Ranchero for one of these to haul lawnmowers/snowblowers around in. And yes, I've wanted one ever since! — jc
