Students in the Advanced Automotive Studies class at North Mecklenburg High School helped restore a 1954 Chevy 3100 pickup truck.
From Marty Minchin’s article on The Charlotte Observer website:
This spring, students in Jarod Brown’s automotive technology class piled on the back of a bright yellow 1954 Chevy truck, and Brown took it for a spin around the North Mecklenburg High School campus.
The truck was in the school’s auto shop when Brown arrived last fall at his new job — auto tech teacher. The truck didn’t run and was covered with rust and algae.
“When we got it started, we were so happy and excited,” said Gregory Shanks, 16, a student in Brown’s class.
Under Brown’s direction, students worked on the truck all year.
“Everything the truck needed was lesson plans I was teaching,” Brown said. “It worked out great.”
Brown said the students couldn’t stop smiling as the truck made its inaugural drive.
