The '57 Chevy, renovated by CRC Industries, was unveiled at SEMA 2024 in Las Vegas, showcasing a hydrogen-powered engine. The project aims to raise funds for CRC's Build for the Future scholarship program, supporting skilled tradespeople. The annual car project, sponsored by CRC, involves modifying a specialty vehicle for auction, with proceeds contributing directly to the scholarship initiative. The car features red and black interiors, a hydrogen-powered Edelbrock-supercharged Gen3 HEMI engine, and is the first of its kind to be auctioned to the public. Racing legends Clay Millican and Jeff Lutz led the build, emphasizing that hot rods can effectively run on hydrogen without sacrificing power or performance. CRC's President highlighted the company's commitment to supporting the next generation of tradespeople through initiatives like Build for the Future. The scholarship program, in partnership with TechForce Foundation, aims to alleviate financial barriers for students pursuing technical education. Scholarships will be awarded to 10 students, with a focus on automotive trades and industrial or welding careers, including support for female students. The auction of the '57 Chevy will determine the scholarship amounts, with excess funds donated to TechForce for additional scholarships. CRC's efforts to promote technical education and provide opportunities for aspiring tradespeople demonstrate a positive impact on the automotive industry and future workforce.
