1965 Mustang Restored by Tam High Students Takes Center Stage at May Madness Event

Four year-project to restore classic car involved more than 300 students, thousands of parts, more than a dozen sponsors, countless hours and one unbelievably dedicated teacher. May Madness is Saturday, May 31 from 12pm-6pm in downtown San Rafael.

Tam High automotive technology teacher Lisa Miller is about as passionate and energetic about teaching kids about cars and the skills needed to maintain, repair and even restore them.

But right now, on the heels of a four-year project in which she led more than 300 students through an entire restoration of a 1965 Mustang, Miller could use a breather.

Miller and her legions of students who participated in the restoration will get a chance to see the fruits of their labor on display at the 27th annual May Madness Rock & Rollin' Car Show and Parade on Saturday, May 31, from 12-6pm on Fourth Street in downtown San Rafael. This year’s event celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang.
