Original starting price: $2,802 When you're a small automaker in Indiana with nothing to lose, putting a retractable roof over your wagon's cargo area is one way to stand out. With a General Motors V8 under the hood, the Wagonaire could lug items that would otherwise be too bulky to carry. Studebaker stopped producing cars in 1967, but the Wagonaire's spirit found its way into the GMC Envoy and its retractable roof in the early 2000s. It's also in just about every full-sized pickup today. “Full-size pickup trucks are becoming much more family-friendly vehicles,” Kaufman says. “Those are where you're seeing a ton of innovation in interior storage tricks, comfort features, and trick tailgates that could have built-in steps or multifunction tailgates.”
