Pasadena High School in Pasadena, California has a Model A club of their own that is a chapter of MAFCA. They do not have an auto shop as it was closed years ago. The building is still there, but it is now a study hall. The club was started a couple years ago by Wilbert Smith, a member of the Santa Anita A's of Arcadia, California and is supported by the school faculty and by members of the Santa Anita A's.
In the past two years the club has had a hand in the restoration of a 1928 phaeton. The car and all the tools and parts are kept in an enclosed car trailer on the campus and is available for after school restoration activity. Much of the restoration effort was donated by local businesses in the community, including machine shops, body shops, and upholstery shops.
There is an article about the PHS club in the January\February 2018 publication of the Restorer, page 29. The 1928 phaeton is to be raffled off and some of the proceeds will go to the purchase of another restoration project.
