MassBay Community College will hold its annual All Vehicle Show on Sunday, September 29th from 8AM – 12PM at the MassBay Automotive Technology Center in Ashland, MA. The show is free and open to the public. It is $20 to register a vehicle, with all proceeds supporting MassBay Automotive Technology student scholarships. The All Vehicle Show will feature vehicles of all genres —from 1930s roadsters to modern muscle cars to imported vehicles. Spectators who attend can vote to award the Top People’s Choice Cars and Top Show Cars. In addition, any MassBay alumni who attends can vote for the Alumni Choice Awards.
The All Vehicle Show is an opportunity for car enthusiasts to showcase their vehicles to the community and for prospective students, newly admitted students, and the community to tour the Automotive Technology Center and learn about the automotive technology program. MassBay automotive technology faculty members will be displaying the Center’s Dynapack dynamometer, which can simulate a variety of driving conditions without actually driving the vehicle on the road and helps instructors enhance students’ understanding of automotive performance. The Dynapack dynamometer will be demonstrated at 10am and 11am.
