Studebaker's Holiday Party-Cars Decorate The Grounds





Wellshire had a great time with the Studebaker Driver's Club annual holiday party.  Vintage and new cars decorated the grounds during the event...and endless pictures were taken of the scene.  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=267701&id=237283052499
The Wellshire was the perfect setting for these sepia toned photographs...looked like something out of a Hollywood movie!   


The Conestoga Chapter of the Studebaker Driver’s Club was established in 1968 as the Colorado Chapter to provide monthly fellowship and activities for Studebaker drivers in Colorado. 


In 1972 the Pat Erickson Memorial (PEM) Chapter (now the Pikes Peak Chapter) was formed for Southern Colorado, and the Colorado Chapter was renamed Conestoga and it serves northern, central, and western parts of the state. 


In 1973 the Conestoga and PEM Chapters hosted the 9th Studebaker Drivers Club International Meet in Colorado Springs, which was the very first SDC International Meet to be held outside of South Bend, Indiana. In 1987, the Conestoga Chapter hosted the 23rd International Meet in Estes Park which turned out to be one of the most popular SDC International Meets ever held. 


They continue to be an active and growing driver’s club today. Activities include car shows, potlucks, demonstrations, luncheons and tours of local sights. Please feel free to join them with or without your Studebaker for some fellowship and fun during any of their monthly activities. Meetings are usually the fourth Sunday of the month with a few exceptions for special events (see calendar of events). http://frontrangestudebakers.wordpress.com/
