Student-Restored Automobile Piques Interest of Australian TV Series

A rare Verrill Wolf Wagon automobile, restored to award-winning quality last semester by Penn College students, is included in a recent addition to an Australian television show's YouTube Channel. (EDITOR'S NOTE: The "Wolf Wagon" segment runs between 8:11-10:32.) "Classic Restos," hosted by Mark "Fletch" Fletcher, caught up with vehicle owner Patricia B. Swigart during The Elegance at Hershey concours event in mid-June. The 1953 car − a fiberglass behemoth nearly 25 feet long and weighing more than 5,000 pounds − won the "Dawn of a New Era" trophy at the show. While the segment as edited does not mention Penn College or its automotive restoration technology major, Swigart has been gracious and complimentary in past comments about the students' work on her eye-catching prototype from the Chrysler family.
