The Automotive Technology department in conjunction with the Latino/Latin American Studies Center will host the second annual car show at ACC's Riverside campus, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 2.
The all-ages event, which is open to students and community members, will feature classic hot rods from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. In addition to kid-friendly entertainment, food, and an iPod raffle, the event will feature live music by local artists DJ Lil Mondo and Trampia.
"The purpose of the show is to raise money for scholarships for ACC students," said Dr. Mariano Díaz-Miranda, director of the Latino/Latin American Studies Center. "This year, we have scholarship funds being raised for two different areas: high school students from Del Valle who will be attending ACC, and students in the automotive department."
Each scholarship will cover one year of tuition, or roughly $1,000, according to Díaz-Miranda. The funds will come from admission fees, which are $5 for adult spectators (12 and under are free), and $30 for car owners who wish to show off their vehicles and take part in the contest. The event is slated to take place the first Saturday of every April. Registration can be completed online or at the door.
