* This award is named after Roy Graham who was a founding member of the Ontario Chapter SDC in 1972 and over the past 62 years has been directly involved with selling, servicing and promoting Studebakers as a Studebaker dealer and Master Mechanic or as a member of the Ontario Chapter. In 2012 he was one of the first Canadians to be honoured on the Studebaker Made in Canada Plaque which is located in the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend for his outstanding service towards Studebaker of Canada while it was in operation (1910-1966). Sadly Roy passed away in 2024 but the tradition is being carried on by his son Ian.
