Despite the threat of rain and the briskly blowing breezes, the 2nd Annual Chaffey College Car Show drew a large and friendly crowd to view the 77 cars presented for judging on Sunday afternoon, April 11.
"It was a way to connect with the community," Sherman Taylor, adviser to the Car Club, said.
Taylor himself builds engines, races and stays involved with the automotive and racing community, those who have supported the car show.
In turn, his students find jobs in that community. The show itself brings people in who are treated to tours of the Auto Technology lab on campus.
Exhibitors included faculty member Christa Havenhill, and a crew from Citrus College who brought a school bus on air bags that won the Car Club Prize. A special Mustang with special hand devices for a handicapped owner was on view as well.
The Chaffey Car Club with the assistance of the AMan Club, Child Development Club, Spirit Team, volunteers Ann Perez from Admissions, Nancy Pyle from Counseling, and Susan Stewart from Student Activities, raised a total of $1,800. All profits will go to Chaffey College scholarships.
Supporters included Lucas Oil Products, Firestone, Sizzler, Pearson Education, Goodson, Bimbo, O'Reilly, Streeks, Vons, Costco, Ralphs, Stater Brothers, Starbucks, The Quakes, Burrtec and LoveCars.com.
The vendors were M.K. Smith Chevrolet and Pomona Valley Harley Davidson. Artist Dwayne Vance donated a book of his Hot Rod art.
A total of 24 trophies and 12 special awards were awarded.
