SUMMARY:Marking the Moment: Centennials\, Bicentennials & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:As Americans mark the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026\, communities across the country are reflecting on their history\, identity\, and future. In this presentation\, Kyle Sater\, Curator at the Studebaker National Museum\, explores how earlier generations celebrated major national milestones—from the excitement of the Centennial Exposition in 1876 to the patriotic festivities surrounding the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976 and beyond. Using South Bend as a case study\, the program examines how local communities commemorated these anniversaries through parades\, pageants\, monuments\, and civic celebrations. Attendees will also discover how companies like Studebaker utilized its own important milestones—and national anniversaries—to showcase innovation\, craftsmanship\, and community pride. Featuring historic photographs\, artifacts\, stories from the museum’s collections\, this presentation places the semiquincentennial within a broader historical tradition\, revealing how generations of Americans have used anniversaries to honor the past\, celebrate the present\, and imagine the future. \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!

DESCRIPTION:Learn from renowned automotive historians on a variety of topics in the automotive world. The livestream of the event will be carried via Grand Touring Motorsports’ twitch feed at www.twitch.tv/grantouringmotorsports. \nTo attend in person\, you can purchase your two-day Concours Weekend Pass or purchase Museum Campus Admission at the door. \n  \n \nSchedule for Friday\, July 10\n8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Registration and Continental Breakfast\n9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Welcome and Opening Remarks\n10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. What Mascots Taught Me about Museums\nPresented by: Lauren Goodman\nAssociate Curator of Exhibitions at the Revs Institute Lauren Goodman will discuss some of her findings from her recent work on “Rolling 20s\, Roaring Art: French Automotive Mascots\,” an award-winning exhibition at Revs Institute. In the process of compiling her research into a literature review\, she found that these small objects embody some of the big conundrums facing automobile heritage today. Could these little sculptures point us in the right direction? She hopes her short talk will spark a lively discussion during the Q&A. \n10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Chrysler’s (and Studebaker’s) Three Musketeers\nPresented by: Bob Casey\nDive into the careers of Fred Zeder\, Owen Skelton\, and Carl Breer\, three engineers who were key figures in Chrysler Corporation’s rise to success\, but got their start together at Studebaker. \n11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. What’s So Special About the Bianco Speciale\nPresented by: Eric Monterastelli\, William Ross\, and Jon Summers\nWhat’s So Special About the Bianco Speciale brings together insights from across multiple automotive history and marketplace podcasts to tell the full\, multidimensional story of one of the most fascinating Ferraris ever built: the lone factory‑white 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO\, chassis 3729GT. \nDrawing on conversations with auction specialists\, historians\, and legendary racers\, this presentation traces the car’s journey from its origins in the hands of influential British dealer‑tuner John Coombs to its modern status as one of the most coveted automobiles in the world. The narrative explores why Coombs specified the car in right‑hand drive\, the racing modifications he commissioned\, and how the GTO became intertwined with the culture of 1960s British motorsport. Figures such as Graham Hill\, Roy Salvadori\, Mike Hawthorn\, Jack Sears\, and others appear throughout the story\, illustrating the era’s competitive landscape and the personalities who shaped it. \nThe presentation also incorporates firsthand reflections from David Hobbs\, whose early racing career intersected with the same club‑racing world that produced the Bianco Speciale. His anecdotes illuminate the transition from amateur to professional racing and the evolution of race‑car engineering—context that deepens the significance of this particular GTO’s development and use. \nFrom a modern perspective\, the talk examines the car’s meticulously documented provenance\, its rarity as one of only eight right‑hand‑drive GTOs\, and its singular status as the only example finished in white. Market analysts and auction experts—including voices from Mecum Auctions\, Motorcopia\, and the Prancing Horse of Nashville—provide insight into the car’s escalating valuation\, the mindset of today’s high‑net‑worth collectors\, and the logistical and historical weight of presenting such a machine at a major auction. Estimates have placed its potential sale price well into record‑setting territory\, underscoring its cultural and economic importance. \n12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. Break for Lunch\n1:15 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Mother Roads: The Lincoln Highway\, Route 66\, and the Interstate Highway System\nPresented by: Matt Anderson\, Jeff Blair\, and John Weiss.
