Lovingly restored classic cars, high-horsepower hot rods, agile off-road vehicles and alternative fuel cars will be on display at the fourth annual Georgia Tech Auto Show March 31 in the parking lot at the corner of Ferst Drive and Means Street.
"We changed the entry rules this year to include Tech fans," said Sterling Skinner, director of instructional laboratories at the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. "I'm expecting to top 300 entries this time. We welcome everything from extremely rare classics in show condition to unfinished student-budget projects. If the owner takes pride in his vehicle, bring it here."
Tech alumni working in automotive technology and design will also have corporate displays. Bryan Nesbitt, head of auto design for General Motors' European divisions, is the featured speaker. Before he joined GM, Nesbitt, Cls 92, designed the very popular PT Cruiser for DaimlerChrysler. Nesbitt will speak at 2 p.m. in the Tannenbaum Auditorium.
