It looks like there will be a tour of the Studebaker Body Plant on Friday May 3,2013 during the Michiana Chapter spring meet. As of now there will be a presentation by Kevin Smith, the building owner at 10:00 am followed by the tours. At this time we are still in the planning stage and are having another meeting next week. We are in need of any help with the tour and especially locating any past employees that worked in the building or pictures or information that would add to it. This is about a one million square foot building and this is probably the last time it will be viewed in its unaltered state. As of now this will be limited to Studebaker Drivers Club members and we may have to put a maximum on attendees as they did with the administration building during the international meet. The South Bend Park Department has also offered to help as much as possible and we are trying to keep a donation to a minimum. Will keep all interested updated. Thanks, Tim Janowiak
