Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2005more pix from Studebaker National Museum festivites
Today was a sort of "preview" day, as the Indiana AOAI chapter had a meeting already scheduled at the museum! We got to see everything as it was being finalized for tonight's party. Saw and talked with Studeski, Tom Noller and Bob Palma. Went to dinner at Tippecanoe, having a blast for my first time in SB. pix at: http://www.aoai.org/snm_saturday.htm pix from last night at: http://www.aoai.org/snm_openining.htm Jeff Wow, great pix and the new museum looks great, thanks for posting. > Today was a sort of "preview" day, as the Indiana AOAI chapter had a > meeting already scheduled at the museum!

I think anyone that had had even the slightest doubts would come away a true believer! I also heard out there that the same week the SDC nationals are in SB in '07, the Packard nationals (PAC) will also be out there. I think this is a great idea! I saw Richard Quinn, Bob and Mrs. Palma, our new SDC president Ed Reynolds, and Art Unger all the way from B.C., there! Ed Reynolds gave a good short speech about the Museum and his association with Studebaker for many years which was an excellent talk. Others spoke also. A terrific night, great food and drink, quite a band, and...best of all, that magnificent museum building!! Bill Pressler Kent, OH Jeff, Great to meet you and GT-Tim there! I'm so impressed by what they've done at the new Museum. Had a terrific time with StudeSki, seeing the sights. Actually ran into him at SASCO (and met Dennis - great guy). Had to explain to TSA folks why I needed to get a windshield wiper motor thru airport security... Had good chats with George Rohrbach. (sp?) Boy there's a Stude-holic! Claude and I went out to the old proving grounds and walked amongst the pine trees that spell the great name and saw the old mansion Egbert called home. I'm SO glad I went to SB!! Can't wait to go back. Dang Bob P., I miss you. uh, read that "missed" you. Guess someone broke the sight off my rifle. <G> BTW, Jeff G., leave those pics on the web for a couple of weeks if you can. I put a link to them from our chapter's homepage. Tom, they'll be there for a long time. link away. I've got some pix from the dedication on Sunday I'll post tonight. Got back to Caleefornia a little late last night to do it. Jeff > uh, read that "missed" you.

It was nice seeing you too again Tom, and always nice to see StudeSki. I did have a great time. On Saturday, I helped move cars from the Old Museum to the 2nd floor of the new one. Probably the most fun one was the Muppet Movie car, the real steering wheel is in the trunk, and it doesn't steer too well! All I can say, the place was worth the wait.

Dang Bob P., I > miss you. Gee George, some guys get all the good jobs don't they. The neatest thing I saw was on Sunday for the official dedication, the building in the backround and all the Studebakers parked right in front (No one told us to, and we weren't in an official parking area, but all the other spots were full. What were we supposed to do?) Now that's a consecration! Tim K. Tom: Sorry to have missed you Saturday evening! Cari and I didn't leave until the end, but we spent much of the time in the galleries and not much time out in the social area with the band...just long enough to "visit" the South Bend Chocolate Company's Chocolate Fountain...was that good or what? 'Glad you made the trip safely and The Proving Grounds were open so you could walk among the S-T-U-D-E-B-A-K-E-R trees and see "The Mansion." Quite an experience, eh? Cheers. BP another of those times when a ng nametag or such would come in handy ( especially for someone like me who doesn't make it back there too often).

Who were the older gentlemen in tuxes up on the grand staircase? Bill Pressler Kent, OH Bill, they were the Michiana Mens Chorus. A direct decendent of the Studebaker Mens Chorus started in the 30's. Their last number was concerning 150 years of Studebaker - words by one of their members. I'd bet we'll see them at the '07 meet. Jeff > Jeff, great photos, thanks for posting.
