The Ocean Bay Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club is the largest and oldest continuous operating chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club, Inc. in New England.Its roots go back to the mid 1960's when a small group of Studebaker enthusiasts would gather periodically at the Museum of Transportation, in Brookline Massachusetts, to display their Studebakers and hold chapter organizational meetings.
The Chapter was originally charted as the "Massachusetts-Rhode Island Chapter" of the Studebaker Drivers Club Inc. in 1967. The Chapter later changed its name to the "Ocean-Bay Chapter" taking the nicknames of Massachusetts "Bay State" and Rhode Island "Ocean State".

Today the Ocean Bay Chapter has now grown to approximately 175 members serving Studebaker enthusiasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with members throughout New England. The chapter holds regularly scheduled chapter meetings each month in locations throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Every effort is made to move the monthly meeting locations around in the two states to give everyone a chance to attend a meeting in their general location. Ocean Bay has hosted numerous very successful Zone Meets over the years from Plymouth to the Berkshires. In 1990 the chapter hosted the Studebaker Drivers Club's 26th International Meet, July 15th to the 21st, in Marlboro Massachusetts. Some 400 Studebaker built automobiles attended the meet together with SDC members from all over the globe.

The chapter also publishes a bimonthly newsletter, the "Studegram". It is packed full of information for its members concerning Monthly Meetings, Stories, Articles and Classifieds. The Studegram has won numerous Studebaker Drivers Club awards over the years.
