Although Studebaker stopped making cars altogether in 1966, the Studebaker National Museum finds that the following âdisco decadeâ of the â70s has an important story to tell.
âWhite vinyl tops and white leather interiors (are some things) you donât see anymore,â Studebaker National Museum Archivist Andrew Beckman says. âCars actually came in colors that werenât black, white or silver once upon a time.â
The exhibit includes a 1972 Lincoln Continental MK IV, a 1973 Pontiac Grand Ville Convertible, a 1973 Ford Mustang, a 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455, a 1975 SV-1, a 1976 AMC Pacer and a 1977 Ford Mustang II Ghia. With the shift away from monochromatic colors came a decrease in the size of cars as well.
The South Bend Cubs are asking the Indiana General Assembly to again let the team capture state tax dollars to pay for ballpark upgrades, an effort that could also benefit a list of other publicly owned facilities and potentially even three downtown hotels.
The bill would designate Four Winds Field, downtown South Bendâs three hotels, Indiana University South Bend facilities and the Howard Park Event Center as a âprofessional sports and convention development area,â where revenue from existing sales and income taxes, capped at $2 million a year, would go to the city rather than the state. The facilities could then use the money for capital improvement projects.
