1956 Chevrolet Station Wagon and Caravan

1965 Studebaker Daytona Wagonair with Kamp-King Camper South bend, Ind. Studebaker has unveiled a new concept in portable camper coaches today a prototype m...odel of a motor home mounted on the rear deck of the Studebaker sliding roof station wagon. The unusual vehicle was previewed for dealers at the anual convention of the National Automobile Dealers’ Association in Las Vegas, Nev. recently. Termed a developmental project by Studebaker, the unit is manufactured by McNanee Coach Corporation, El Monte, Calif., as a joint effort by McNamee and Studebaker, Present consumer reaction studies will be continued. The camper unit can be fitted only to the Studebaker sliding roof Wagonaire, because a basic design concept involves bolting the coach to the frame members of the vehicle, for better handling, safety and maneuverability. Only the Studebaker, with its novel sliding roof, allows the bolt-down principle to be employed. It also permits passengers to pass from the station-wagon into the camper compartment through a closable aperture which is 3 ft. high and 30 wide. The prototype model weighs 800 lbs. unladen with an estimated laden weight of 1,000 lbs. The stations wagon is fitted with heavy-duty springs, shock absorbers, fan, radiator and clutch, all part of the Studebaker option list. In addition, special Hellwig overload springs are supplied. Cruising speed is 65 mph, top legal speed of most roads. High wind conditions or high speed cornering do not adversely affect the vehicle’s stability. The camper can be dismounted in 20 minutes with a bumper jack and simple braces. No body alterations are required. The unit, if accepted by studebaker for distribution, would be sold through Studebaker dealers at prices competitive with other camper coaches. 1965 Studebaker Daytona Wagonaire with a 283 V8, sliding roof, black leatherette interior with fully reclining front bench seats, ps, pb, am radio and factory installed helper leaves in the rear springs.
