How about this, I stumbled across another very interesting Elks Club car! Tacoma Elks motion picture crew, and their 1931 Buick 8


The Elks had signed the Peptimist Motion Picture Corporation of Hollywood to create a motion picture comedy drama woven around the industrial life and scenic attractions of Tacoma. 

The completed picture would be shown a gala frolic June 27, 1931 at the Elks Convention. A casting call went out for 500 men, women and children to be in the picture with the two main female starring roles receiving a salary. 




From 1929 thru 1937 the Elks Club used Studebakers painted purple and white exclusively in their annual tour to their Intl meet site.






the Elks Lodge in Butte Montana was a Studebaker dealership on the ground floor from 1926-56  https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/phase-1-of-butte-elks-lodge-building-renovation-nearly-complete
