“Studebaker at the Brickyard,” an exhibit focusing on Studebaker’s participation in the Indianapolis 500, will be featured at the Studebaker National Museum, 201 S. Chapin St. in downtown South Bend, through April 28.

“Studebaker at the Brickyard” will focus on Studebaker’s factory-backed teams in 1932 and 1933.  Three of the original Studebaker team cars will be reunited as part of the exhibit, which will also feature a look at Studebaker’s pace car history, with a special focus on the 1952 race.  Studebaker celebrated its centennial that year and hosted a special weekend of events at The 500.
