    The C.A.R.S. Concept has been conceived as a two-year hands-on training program in automotive restoration that trains participants in the best of vintage automobile design and construction and modern automotive technologies.

    The C.A.R.S. Concept has been conceived as a two-year hands-on training program in automotive restoration that trains participants in the best of vintage automobile design and construction and modern automotive technologies. Unlike conventional commercial training programs, which are focused heavily on theory as it applies to new cars, it is grounded in the philosophy that students must gain knowledge of the cars of the past and extensive hands-on practice with old and new technologies to become accomplished at auto restoration. Rather than sitting in a classroom, trainees accepted into the C.A.R.S. program will learn exclusively on the job. Working on vintage cars as apprentices under the close supervision of a team of master mechanics and technicians, they will not only restore the cars to pristine cosmetic condition but will overhaul the electrical systems and upgrade the engines and drivetrains to modern fuel-efficiency and emission standards. When taking a muscle car apart, for example, they will learn why the new gearbox being installed is rack and pinion and why it is superior to what it is replacing. They will know what all the sensors in modern engines do because they will have installed them all in the cars they are restoring. They will learn what a choke is and what technology has replaced it and why carburetion gave way to fuel injection. They will learn how each U.S. manufacturer made the design decisions it did and how to work on cars from GM, Ford, Chrysler and many more.
