CONCOURS ENTRY STANDARDS

Due to space limitations on campus, the Club can accept no more than 350 antique, classic, sports, special interest, rod, or custom cars for display and judging at the 2008 Concours. Toward that end, a maximum of 14 cars will be accepted in each class. In addition, there will be approximately 50 automobiles in keeping with the theme of the show for this year:

The Registration Committee will review all entries prior to acceptance to ensure Concours or show quality. Also, the Judging Committee reserves the right to add, delete, or combine classes as appropriate. Cars entered for Concours judging will be judged for authenticity, preparation, and elegance.

Rods and custom cars will be judged for style and finish. Judging results are final and will not be released to car owners.

Class Awards will be presented for First, Second, and Third Place. However, the minimum points for awards in each class are 92 for First, 85 for Second, and 75 for Third.

At the discretion of the judges, awards for best original car may also be made in selected classes.
