THE ORIGINAL COLLECTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1966, the Studebaker Corporation gave its 33-vehicle collection to the City of South Bend.  This collection, which includes the Presidential carriages, and the Studebaker family\u2019s Conestoga Wagon, formed the nucleus of the current Studebaker National Museum, and is referred to as the \u201cOriginal Collection\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE MILITARY COLLECTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studebaker\u2019s history of military production dates to 1857 when it filled an order from the U.S. Government for supply wagons to be used in the so-called \u201cMormon War.\u201d From that conflict up through the Vietnam era, Studebaker proudly provided for our nation\u2019s defense. In 1964, Studebaker transferred its government contracts to Kaiser-Jeep, which later became AM General. AM General remains a vital supplier of military vehicles and is a long-time supporter of the Studebaker National Museum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
