This past weekend YMFC members took the 1937 Studebaker to the 2021 Eastern Fall Meet of the Antique Automobile Club of America hosted by the Hersey Region AACA. The Studebaker had some tough competition and took first place in its category. It has not been judged by this club since 1991 and scored high enough to move up from Junior Class to Senior Class. By doing this the Studebaker now faces even tougher judging and competition in future shows. This is a true honor to have and we are extremely happy to be able to continue to preserve the history of the truck that past and current members have put a lot of time into.
