Studebaker Exhibition At Boomtown

Members of the Studebaker Drivers Club, at Boomtown Sept. 8-11 for their organization's Pacific Southwest Zone Meet, own these rolling Rembrandts and drive them regularly.

Cars on display will be from Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and British Columbia. More than 100 vehicles, limited to Studebaker and related vehicles, are anticipated.

Originally blacksmiths, Henry and Clement Studebaker first opened their shop in South Bend, Indiana in 1852. Fifteen years later they turned it into the Studebaker Manufacturing Company, which would eventually become the largest wagon manufacturer in the world. It is the only company that was able to successfully switch from horse-drawn to gasoline-powered vehicles. The brothers eased into the automobile market with an electric car in 1902 and first produced gasoline powered Studebakers in 1904. Studebaker ceased production of its vehicles in 1966 and closed its plant after 114 years.

Watch history come alive at the exhibition. Admission is free. For more information about the event call 775-356-6519 or 775-425-4868.
