Studebaker with an outstanding record of station wagon popularity, has styled an all-new series of station wagons for 1956. Entering the station wagon field just two years ago, Studebaker has seen its station wagon business rise to 11 percent of its total sales, representing the fastest rate of gain in the entire industry. The new 1956 President Pinehurst model is bigger and more powerful, and has many unusual new features such as soundproof headlining to enhance the quiet atmosphere of the interior. The Pinehurst's big new 289-cubic inch V8 engine develops 195 horsepower. Other station wagons in the line are the Parkview in the Commander V8 series and the Pelham in the Champion six series. All three station wagons feature complete passenger car refinements at the same time they are designed to serve as heavy-duty cargo carriers. They can accommodate six passengers on the two full-width seats, and have a maximum capacity of 65 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded forward. A specially engineered two-stage suspension system in the rear gives the station wagons the same soft ride as sedans, but supplies a firm support to the car body when it is loaded with heavy cargo. The new Studebaker lines include 16 different basic models -- 12 in the President V8, Commander V8 and Champion sedans and station wagons, and four in a new sports-type line.
