Studebaker Conestoga
The Studebaker Conestoga was an all steel station wagon produced from 1954 to 1955 by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA). The company chose the name Conestoga as an homage to its early wagon business that company operated from the 1850s to the early 20th Century.
Studebaker Conestoga station wagons were built on the company’s 116.5” wheelbase platform. The vehicles were two-door wagons and had a two piece tailgate/liftgate configuration for accessing the cargo area.
Studebaker discontinued the Conestoga nameplate at the end of the 1955 model year.
