Description: On October 2, 1939, Clara Thorsen received her title
to a new 1939 Studebaker Champion from an unidentified VFW member. She
won the car at a Ray C. Roberts Post 969, VFW benefit ball. Miss Thorsen
confided that she was getting married the following month and planned
on using the vehicle for a honeymoon trip to California. The lucky young
lady was 24 years old and a clerk at Fishers Department Store. She
picked up her car at the Allen Motor Co. building, which advertised
itself as being "opposite the Temple Theater". (T. Times 10/5/1939, pg.
