A new exhibit at the Studebaker National Museum features some classics from the original collection as it showcases history on wheels.

The “Studebaker’s National Treasures” exhibit showcases eight historic vehicles, including four presidential carriages.

Andrew Beckman, an archivist at the museum, says the exhibit was funded by a “Save America’s Treasures” grant they received several years ago. He says the vehicles range in age from the 1820s to the 1900s. One of the presidential carriages cost $1700, which seems low today, but was a lot of money at the time.

“All of us here at the museum are proud of the collection, it's such a unique piece of American history. It's something that a lot of people may not realize is right here in South Bend,” said Beckman.

The "National Treasures" exhibit is available at the museum until June 6, 2010.
