Wagonaire trivia. In the early 60s, there was a TV showed called 'Wild Kingdom'. It featured nature, and wild animals from around the world. The production crew used a guy strapped in an old pickup to do the filming, and they weren't happy with the poor performance of some late 50s pickup. They approached Studebaker about building a Wagonaire with some more oomph, and Studebaker needing the money said 'sure!'.
Studebaker dropped the 289 Paxton supercharged engine, 4 speed trans, and 4.11 locker rear end in the Wagonaire with uprated springs and shocks out of the Golden Hawk line. It was a hit with the producers, and a few dozen crazy customers went to the Studebaker dealer asking about the 'Wild Kingdom' Wagonaire package. So, there are maybe 30 or so Wagonaires built with a 289HP Paxton SC, 4 speed close ratio trans and the Dana limited slip rear end out there. I saw a black one for sale somewhere about 8 years ago.
