There are valid reasons why people get goose bumps and are moved to tears as this race approaches its annual start. It s about the history that resonates with every hymn, the marching band s honking brass and the first rasp of competition engines. The Indianapolis 500 is, first and always, about deeply respected
traditions. As the return of Chevrolet as an engine supplier in 2012 helps demonstrate the link between this race, the Speedway and the American car business has always been a constant. Ph b F ed G ch Ph b F ed G ch It goes back, literally, to before the Indy 500 ever took place. Speedway co-founder Carl Graham Fisher was a major early retailer of cars in Indianapolis, and even produced one, the Empire. He believed that manufacturers ought to sell performance. He built the Speedway to help them demonstrate it (and, also, the original Lincoln Highway, one of America s first cross-country roads that rose above the level of muddy wheel ruts). So, Fisher was our kind of guy. He also takes creditPh forb J e one Kai e of Indy s most famed traditions: the pace car.
Ph b J e Kai e When the first 500 was first being planned, it became clear that the number of entries — 40 cars started the first race in 1911 — would preclude the traditional European standing start. Fisher had already promoted the Ohio-built Stoddard-Dayton by having one floated across the city under a hot-air balloon in 1909. So Ph b Gail A l he picked another, a Stoddard-Dayton Model 11-A that may actually have been his own, to pace the start. It s been a tradition ever since. Manufacturers still fight for the chance to supply the Speedway with a pace car and support vehicles each year — great marketing, given the 500 s race-day crowd of 300,000 and change.
Another Brickyard tradition: The Indianapolis 500 winner gets to keep the pace car. That dates back to 1936, when Louis Meyer received a Packard 120 for Ph b Gl ia Schme e becoming the race s first three-time winner.

Laurence (Larry) Swanson June 29, 1941 – February 28, 2020
Picture taken at 2018 SDC International Meet in Tacoma, WA.
Larry was a gentleman, highly respected and regarded and justly so. He had a gentle nature and always had a smile and a warm greeting for everyone that he met in the Studebaker Drivers Club. Some say that one person can make a difference. Larry made a lot of differences in the Studebaker Drivers Club.
In his teen years, Larry delivered pizza. The shop owner had purchased a number of brands of cars for the deliveries. Larry had found that Studebakers were more reliable and durable than the other makes that the other pizza delivery boys chose to drive. Impressed with Studebakers, that is what he chose to drive on his deliveries. Time passes and Larry joins the Studebaker Drivers Club.
After a time, Larry worked for Burlington Northern Railways as the yardmaster, controlling the traffic and flow in the rail yard. He loved the steam engines and railroading. During the time that he was employed by Burlington Northern, he became the SDC Membership Secretary at a time when the membership numbers were three or four thousand. He also also took on the task of being the club editor, publisher, and did the newsletter mailing, all done on a voluntary basis with the help of his wife, Pat. Larry and Pat were married in 1964. Some SDC members assisted. One of them being the late Ron Hall. George Krem also volunteered to help. Larry and Pat used their Studebaker for the hauling of Ph b A Pea Ph b A Pea the newsletters. While all this was going on, Larry studied and became a lawyer.
M a cia i i h La g e bac he ea 1970 he I a he e be hi ec e a f he ca , B.C. C a a Cha er, a span of over 45 years. In those days, there had been a constant 10% premium on the American Dollar. As the membership secretary, funds were given to me for the SDC Inc. (National) membership as well as for the local chapter membership dues. Larry, being the SDC Inc. Membership Secretary, I would send the SDC Inc. dues to him in Oswego, Ill. This was the arrangement for a number of years and eventually, I retired from my position. Shortly after, the premium on the U.S. Dollar started to fluctuate and this created a problem for the local membership secretary and he would not know how much premium should be added to the dues for SDC Inc. This resulted in the local chapter members only paying the B.C. Coastal Chapter dues and for the member to send their SDC Inc. dues directly to Larry on their own.
Time passes and during the 1979 SDC International Meet in Long Beach, California, I finally had a chance to meet with Larry and Pat in the parking lot. My thoughts were, howPh great b B ia is K acthis? I am thrilled at meeting the high-profile couple that for so long, our association was by mail only. We have managed to keep in touch throughout the years.
In 1999, Larry and Pat were invited to be guests of the B.C. Coastal Chapter for the Pacific Can- Am Zone meet and to our delight, they accepted the invitation. We had a great time togeth- er, creating many fond memories.
During a speech that Larry gave at the awards presentation dinner, Larry stated that he had 2 kinds of friends in the Studebaker Drivers Club, the ones that he has met and the ones that he has yet to meet. This is a nice thought. It was a pleasure for me to meet Larry, only made possible by both of us being members of the Studebaker Drivers Club.
The 2018 SDC International Meet would be the last that Larry would attend. He had health issues previously but he was well enough to attend the event. This would also be the last time that I would have the pleasure of his company. I had invited him to be my guest for what should have been the Awards Presentation Dinner but for some reason the awards were presented on the day following the dinner. Ph b J e Kai e
During the years that Larry was in the SDC, he was the membership secretary, the editor and creator of TURNING WHEELS, club newsletter, a club director, legal consul, designed the commemorative coins for our club, compiled The Touring Studebaker Drivers Glovebox Geographic Guide, which provides information regarding parts, service and roadside assistance while on tour of America and Canada. Larry also compiled the Studebaker Inside Facts regarding the SDC.
Not many members will know about or remember the SDC bulletins that SDC had before Larry created the TURNING WHEELS publication. The publication was merely two pieces of standard letter paper, folded in half and stapled to create eight pages. In those days, the editor, I believed to be Ed Flarity, would have to use a typewriter to create the text and any graphics would h ica ha e be c a d a ed he age. A i a e he d af c d ea i g Whi e O a ic d i g substance that covered the mistake and then text was typed over, onto the document. When Larry produced the TURNING WHEELS publication, it was so much improved over the previous publication that the difference was like the differences of night and day. Not sure when the computers were used for the club newsletter publications. When the computers were introduced to the public, more often than not, they were called, Word Processors.
I am blessed to have Larry touch my life. He gave me inspiration to be an editor for the B.C. Coastal and Vancouver Island Chapte . Af e e i i g f ha , I a ed i e he Odd N Ends column on a monthly basis since 2013. A copy would be sent to him by e-mail. Larry was gracious to forward copies of the column to the SDC Chapter Editors that he wasPh in b touch B b Mile Ph b A Pea with.

Larry Swanson Memorial by pete Yuen continued, a comment from bob miles, Studebaker Corporation documentary forward from Susan Lusted and photos from the March Gathering
U i La had hea h i e a d i i b e , he a i ed i h Wha Ha e i g, a ch gica i i g f f e events within our club. That listing continues with the very capable Susan Lusted taking over. On many occasions, Larry has been acknowledged for his many contributions to the club. We each have a common award though, that being the John Brichetto Award, an acknowledgement for literary contribution by a non-edi he c b. Af e La e i e e f being the Editor-in-chief, he was given recognition as the Editor Emeritus, a title given to him for what he was prior to his retirement.
Not mentioned was the fact that he was a terrific ambassador for the SDC. Larry created many changes to improve our club. He will be remembered and he will be missed. He touched many lives in a positive manner, graciously. One person can make a difference. For the Studebaker Drivers Club, that person was Larry Swanson.
The world needs more people like him. Since his earthly work is done, I know that you will join me in wishing Larry a peaceful rest. He deserves it. Our deepest sympathy goes to Pat for the loss of her loved one.

I don't think it can be stressed strongly enough that without Larry Swanson at the helm for many years at Turning Wheels, our club would not be as great and large as it is now. He each and every month put out a quality publication that NO Other car club could match. That legacy will be a long standing tribute to Larry Swanson, better than anything I can possibly say.
