The Conestoga station wagons were built on the Studebaker's 116.5 in (2,960 mm) wheelbase platform.

One body style was available, a two-door wagon with a two-piece tailgate/liftgate configuration for accessing the cargo area.

This model included a stretcher, red cross decals, and other ambulance features.

The Ambulet was promoted primarily for police and fire departments as well as for small-town funeral homes, many of which provided ambulance services at the time.

Studebaker discontinued the Conestoga nameplate at the end of the 1955 model year, although the basic body would be continued through several styling changes — and even built as a Lark compact — through 1961.
