CAI students attend Mustang Car Show at Ford!
Three Auto Show Committee students from CAI attended a unique Mustang Car Show at the Ford plant in Oakville during the long weekend in August. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to network with the automotive industry and see some really cool cars! Steve Monti, CAI student said,
“we couldn’t have asked for a better day, what a show! Of the thousands of car clubs out there, I have never seen such a turnout nor such direct manufacturer support for it…refreshing to see!”
