3RD ANNUAL NEW CASTLE SCHOOL OF TRADES CAR SHOW - JUNE 13, 2020
Photos and Story by Joe Secka
The New Castle School of Trades is no stranger to cars, trucks and all things mechanical. This was the perfect setting for a display of everything a gearhead might be interested in. The location was very inviting with paved parking for over 300 vehicles and easy access from the interstate highway system.
A gorgeous, but kind of hot, day welcomed me to the Pulaski Rd. campus of NCST. The lot was already over half full and new arrivals were still coming in over two hours later as I was preparing to leave. Something for everyone is often used to describe what can be seen at a cruise and that tag was more than appropriate for this event.
Admission for spectators was free with proceeds from car registrations benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project. Dash plaques, good food, DJ, door prizes, raffles, tool vendors and paved parking were some of the perks of this show. I noticed vehicles from PA, Ohio and Indiana during my walkthrough.
Founded in 1945, New Castle School of Trades has provided industrial training across a wide spectrum of skilled trades for over 70 years in the state of Pennsylvania. Gone are the days when only men filled jobs within the trades industry. There has never been a better time for women to consider a career in the trades. New Castle School of Trades provides technical and hands-on training in 11 different programs. The school believes that all men and women who want to work with their hands and earn a good living have equal access to information, training, and employment opportunities in the industry. New classes begin monthly. Consider NCST if you are interested in acquiring new skills and opportunities.
McClymonds Supply & Transport brought a semi-tractor with a detailed military theme. That was the super-size of the show and it went over to a pair of high rise 4WD pickups and on down to a Chevy powered T-Bucket. Several roadsters, coupes, some customs and a nose-up ’55 Chevy Gasser piqued the interest of attendees.
One of the food trailers had Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and another was selling pumpkin funnel cakes. Hey, I didn’t leave hungry! - Just sayin’
