The Studebaker Car Show was produced by the Beach Cities – Inland Empire Chapter of The Studebaker Drivers Club. The event was staged at the Old World Village, a recreated German village complete with shops, restaurants and even a church. The weather was a little on the warm side but nice in the shade of the Village. The Studebakers were positioned around the picturesque streets, while Old World visitors enjoyed the nice cars and asked the owners lots of questions.    Thanks for the Show!
