In this episode, Amy Everhart Perry, from The Gilmore Car Museum, talks about the incredible learning opportunities at the Gilmore including The amazing Gilmore Garage Works after-school enrichment program where mentors provide insight-filled instruction in automotive technology, giving students skills in welding, painting, and fabrication.
Upon completion, students leave the Gilmore Garage Works program with a resume, a portfolio, and personal letters of recommendation—as well as self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
Amy also tells us about their "Model T Driving experience where people learn to drive a Model T Ford…operated with 3 foot pedals (No Gas Pedal!), one hand lever, and two hand controls on the steering wheel! Drivers gt to take the wheel of an AUTHENTIC Model T Ford, built between 1908 and 1927, and drive 3 miles on paved roads within our historic campus with an experienced and enthusiastic instructor.
Finally, we chat about the awesome benefits of being a member of The Gilmore Car Museum as the museum offers a wide variety of annual membership levels for individuals, families, and friends. (*HINT-a killer gift idea for car lovers everywhere)
