There s this push to drive your classic, so concours judging, to the uninformed, sounds like the problem, not the solution. Actually, our most recent trip to the judging at the National Corvette Restorer s Society Regionals in Orlando last January was as refreshing as the sunny Florida weather after four days snow-bound in the Texas Panhandle.
Some explanation is necessary.
Many of the big-time shows these days don t have concours judging, preferring to have fun. They host thousands of Corvettes, and tens of thousands of people pay to get in. Nobody will get their feelings hurt by not getting a trophy for first in their class because there is no first in class.
