Matt Anderson\, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford will take us on the journey through photos from that landmark first running – many taken by Henry Ford\, one of the 80\,000 fans who saw history being made at the Brickyard that day. \nPhoto Credit: The Henry Ford \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium.
