Classic Vehicles, Curiosity Bring Chevy Club to Campus

More than 20 members of the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America Inc. traveled to Penn College in a dozen cars Friday, enjoying a tour of several laboratories in the School of Transportation & Natural Resources Technologies and meeting with students  – both instructionally and informally. Of particular interest was the automotive restoration lab, where the visitors saw the caliber of the museum pieces and collectibles entrusted to students: a 1929 Duesenberg, a 1947 Packard and a 1932 Buick, among them. Dave Cavagnaro, of Blairstown, New Jersey, who was taken by the students' demeanor when he met them at Charlotte and Philadelphia, said he continued to be "superimpressed" after seeing them on campus. The members' cars, combined with a display of student- and faculty-owned vehicles, coincided with a fall tradition: a hot dog roast with the school administration at the grill.
