Studebaker Pickup Truck
The first car I owned was a 1963 Studebaker Lark station wagon with three speed manual shift on the column and solenoid actuated overdrive on 2nd and 3rd gear. That provided five gear ratios. The engine was a 259 cid V-8. It was not particularly quick in acceleration, but it would cruise all day at 80 mph and sip gas at 20 miles per gallon. The rear seat folded absolutely flat and that provided a comfortable platform for a sleeping bag that enabled the overnight excursions and diversions of a college junior.
