Western Wheels Chapter SDC

Western Wheels Chapter SDC Western Wheels Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club serves the area of Western Nebraska & Eastern It was approved by National and was received in July 1972.

Our chapter has its roots in the original Colorado Chapter that was formed in June of 1968 at Colorado Springs, Colorado. Some of our Western Wheels members attended the Western Zone Meet held at Colorado Springs in June 1970. The membership in Colorado increased to the point that, in October of 1970, they split into two chapters; the Conestoga Chapter covering the northern part of Colorado, and t

he Pat Erickson Memorial Chapter (now the Pikes Peak Chapter) covering the southern part of the state. In September 1971, SDC members and the VMCCA held a joint Car Show at the State Capitol in Cheyenne, Wyoming. A business meeting was held after the car show to pursue the idea of forming a chapter covering Western Nebraska and Eastern Wyoming. A Formal chapter meeting was held November 21, 1971, at the VFW Hallin Torrington, Wyoming, hosted by Milton Holler, to elect a slate of Officers and select the name for the new chapter. “Western Wheels Chapter” was the name selected by a wide margin. The First officers were:
President: Milton Holler - Torrington, Wyoming,
Vice President: Jim Vernon - Minatare, Nebraska
Secretary/Treasurer: Kathy Holler - Torrington, Wyoming
Tourmaster: Frank Costa - Minatare, Nebraska

The March 1972 meeting consisted of approving our Club Bylaws and making the application for our Charter.
