Don't be surprised if the Studebaker car doesn't make a comeback on the streets of South Bend.

Next week, an estimated 800 classic cars are expected to hit town as the Studebaker Driver's Club holds an annual meet in South Bend.

The meet is held every year, but every 5 years it comes to the home of the Studebaker South Bend.

“Every state except Alaska and Hawaii and 11 countries, there are lots and lots of Studebaker Clubs especially like South Africa and the Netherlands, there's a lot of clubs there, England … yeah they'll be here from all over,” said Rebecca Bonham of Studebaker National Museum.

This year’s Studebaker Driver’s Club meet is expected to draw 2500 people to town.
