SUMMARY:The Birth of the Silver Arrows: Mercedes-Benz Racing
DESCRIPTION:The racing cars of Mercedes-Benz have been known as the “Silver Arrows” (Silberpfeile) since the 1930s in the years immediately preceding the Second World War. Along with the racing cars of the Auto Union company\, the silvery-liveried German machines of the two companies dominated Grand Prix racing from 1934 to 1939. After the Second World War\, Mercedes-Benz once again returned to racing with a new generation of Silver Arrows in 1954 and 1955. In recent years\, the Mercedes Formula 1 team has won six world championships in a row\, from 2014 to 2019\, also using a livery that is basically silver. \nHow and why the Silver Arrows of the 1930s came into being has often been attributed to an incident that occurred during the weigh-in for the Eifelrennen (Eifel Race) at the Nűrburgring in June 1934. For many years\, the account given by the manager of the Mercedes-Benz racing team\, Alfred Neubauer\, was accepted at face value and repeated in books and magazines.\nHowever\, in recent years there have been those challenging this account. The Mercedes-Benz Heritage Information Center became aware of the various challenges to the tale attributed to Alfred Neubauer and in July 2007 held a symposium at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Fellbach\, Germany to discuss this issue. \nPreeminent Automotive Historian Col. H. Donald Capps U.S. Army\, Retired will take us into this fascinating story and explore whether or not there is truth in the famous story or there is more to the story than meets the eye. \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular Speaker Series admission is $2. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum. Studebaker National Museum and Campus members are admitted free!

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Preston Tucker and the Tucker 48
DESCRIPTION:Preston Tucker and his Tucker 48 inspire admiration – and debate – to this day. Tucker built 51 cars before a shortage of money and a surplus of bad publicity closed his company. Some think GM\, Ford and Chrysler conspired to destroy Tucker. More likely\, he simply was overwhelmed by the enormous cost of building an automobile company from scratch. Join Matt Anderson\, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford Museum\, for a look back at the man and his dream and try to determine where it all went wrong. \nPhoto from the Collections of The Henry Ford

SUMMARY:Studebaker Housing: The Citizens Home Company
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th century\, planned communities were growing in popularity throughout the US. For example\, George Pullman wanted to attract and retain talented workers for his business in Chicago. He believed that providing a quality standard of living would keep workers happy\, productive\, and less likely to strike. \nSouth Bend did not have anything quite that organized; instead industry leaders used residential new construction to compete for workers. In 1919 the Citizens Home Company was formed as part of the Studebaker Corporations’ housing company. \nAdam Toering\, Historic Preservation Administrator with the City of South Bend\, will talk about the various neighborhoods that were built by the Citizens Home Company\, providing quality worker housing for Studebaker employees at a discounted price. The Rev. Dr. Charles A. Lippincott\, a former First Presbyterian Church minister\, hung up the frock and went to work for Studebaker labor relations\, spearheading this exciting program. \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium.
