The 2018 Lincoln Homecoming will Recognize the

50th Anniversary of Lincoln-Zephyr Owners Club

The 2018 Homecoming will combine the Fifth Annual Lincoln Homecoming with the 50th Anniversary of the Lincoln-Zephyr Owners Club (LZOC). The event will be held in two locations: Elkhart, Indiana and Hickory Comers/Kalamazoo, Michigan. The 2018 Homecoming is being hosted by the Lincoln-Zephyr Owners Club and all four Lincoln clubs are invited to attend the annual Lincoln Homecoming: Road Race Lincoln Register, Lincoln Continental Owners Club and the Lincoln Owners Club. Any Lincoln owner who is not a club member is also encouraged to register and attend this event. The 19361948 V-12 Lincoln-Zephyr plus pre and post-war Lincolns will be featured.

Please join us and celebrate on the rolling prairies of northern Indiana August 6-9, concluding with a Golden Jubilee Heritage bash at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Automobile Museum on Thursday, August 9," said Tom Brunner, LZOC president.

On Friday, August 10, we tour to Kalamazoo to enjoy our Fifth Lincoln Homecoming at Hickory Corners on Saturday and Sunday. We will have a People's Choice All Decades Lincoln car show on Saturday, August 11, for all Lincolns. It is an exhibition show only with no point judging. The presentation of People's Choice awards will be Sunday, August 12, featuring awards for each decade--the 1920s through the 2000s; Best of Show and First, Second and Third Places will be awarded for each decade. "Best of all, " Brunner continued, "we will have luxurious motor coaches for all of our tours in Indiana. All tours will leave from the Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Elkhart, Indiana. On Tuesday, August 7, bus tour # 1 will go to South Bend and the glorious National Studebaker Museum where you will see the carriage that took President Lincoln to Ford's theatre. You will see the `36 Studebaker that looked like a `36 Zephyr, visit the Notre Dame Football Room, and see the Oliver Victorian Home that will transport you to another era. Enjoy a delightful lunch at the Victorian castle of the Studebaker family called Tippecanoe Place. On Wednesday we will have three bus tours. Bus tour #2 will feature a Brown Bag Tour to Amish cottage industries. On bus tour # 3 you will visit the "Real Housewives of Amish Country. On bus tour #4 we will ride to Shipshewana and see the old fashioned Amish livestock and home furnishing auction. There will be plenty of good things to eat. If you choose, you may visit the Hostetler Hudson Museum on your own. "On Thursday's bus tour #5 we will travel the route of the original 1913 Lincoln Highway through the farm country of northern Indiana, to visit the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, the National Automotive and Truck Museum (NATMUS), the Early Ford V-8 Foundation's re-creation of the Ford Rotunda, and the DeKalb County courthouse. Thursday night will be our Founders Dinner and LZOC history celebration and Golden Anniversary Bash at the Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg Automobile Museum.

The number of seats on our tour buses are limited so it will be first come, first served, until rooms and tours are filled.
