HARWICH – Automotive students at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School look at hundreds of cars each school year as part of their vocational education, but this past week proved to be an entirely different experience.
The Ford Model A Club of Cape Cod brought 10 of their antiques into the shop at the Harwich school. Students got to look at the cars and vote on their favorite.
The Ford Model A was the highly successful follow up to the Model T, replacing the Model T on the market in the late-1920’s.
The shop at Cape Tech serves as a fully functioning auto body and repair ship, handling at least one job during each day of the school year. It is open to the public.
“There is a high demand for our graduates since most auto-body and auto-repair shops are back up over a month with waiting customers. Students in the automotive technology concentration not only get very practical and marketable skills in the classroom and shop but can expand upon that with participation in cooperative work or internships with local businesses when they are junior and seniors,” said Ken Townsend, an automotive instructor at Cape Tech.
