WCC: Cars

Popular Mechanics publishes a feature on Washtenaw Community College’s car-customizing program and their restoration of a 1964 Chevrolet Impala convertible – a project commissioned by former Detroit Tiger Dimitri Young for Ken Griffey Jr. to mark his 600th career home run. “In 15 weeks, the WCC students created a living, breathing, moving piece of art. … The car itself represents much more than a sum of its parts. It epitomizes the work, dedication and baptism by fire of 25 young craftsmen about to enter the working world. Above all, of course, the car is a reward in itself, and one hell of a way to celebrate 600 home runs.” [Source]
