Student projects and vehicles will also be on display. This year students will continue the tradition of restoring and donating vehicles to the Goodwill Workers on Wheels Program. Students will also tackle the fun challenge of restoring a 1963 Ford Galaxie called the “Barney Ride.” The vintage police cruiser, like the one featured in “The Andy Griffith Show,” comes complete with radio and lights.

The show is named for the late NMC Automotive instructor Mike McIntosh, who retired in 2004 after 34 years of service. McIntosh organized the first car show for the Automotive Program in 2004.
