## Resource

The inaugural episode of Automotive History Live! introduces a new show presented by the Studebaker National Museum and sponsored by the Society of Automotive Historians, with hosts joined by Studebaker archivist Andrew Beckman. Beckman traces Studebaker’s origins from an 1840s South Bend blacksmith shop to the world’s largest wagon builder, its early electric (1902) and gasoline (1904) automobile efforts via partnerships, and its lasting civic and industrial impact on South Bend. He explains the museum’s evolution from Studebaker’s corporate collection to today’s 2005 facility, its archives access and research services, and notable holdings including presidential carriages and the screen-used 1951 “Fozzie Bear” Studebaker. The conversation highlights regional museum collaborations, details the boutique Concours d’Elegance at Copshaholm and its rotating classes, and previews the Automotive History Live conference programming and preservation mission.
