The auto show is taking place just as the Academy’s School of Industrial Design has announced a new Associate of Arts degree program in Automotive Restoration. Describing the new degree, Dr. Elisa Stephens, president of the university, says, “Vintage vehicle restoration is unique. For this reason, the program will train for hands-on skills and machining technology, while also covering the critical component of history and research processes for repairing parts or creating historically accurate components for authenticity.”
All of the classic cars on display at the auto show are completely and meticulously restored. It’s a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and casual observers alike to view some of the most legendary cars, in superb condition, from the 20th century’s golden age of automobile design.
