Studebaker Museum goes disco in its latest exhibit

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Studebaker National Museum opens a new exhibit Saturday which focuses on cars from the 1970s. Disco Decade Rides takes a look at the funky time period in American automobiles.

The new exhibit highlights some of the decade’s iconic autos and the stories they tell, from land yachts to vinyl tops.

The times changed due to a fuel embargo and various regulations which caused a tonal shift in how automakers approached car design.

Disco Decade Rides: Cars of the 1970s will run from October 10th of 2020 through March 28th of 2021.

The Studebaker Museum in downtown South Bend is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.
