...................Because NOT one of us on this forum know what was right or wrong for any given year or engine size between one assembly plant to another. Doesn't matter if it is a '65 or a '73 or anything in between. IMHO,I think that is taking things a little too far......Just like I said," NOT one of us on this forum knows within a shadow of a doubt what is right or wrong, no matter how much "homework" they did. And that's my 2 cents worth. ..........
Guess you have finally found that you can determine what others limitations are. Would suggest that there are plenty of examples where owners and judges have taken on the task of researching and have done some great work. Just my experiences and my faith in the hobby and many of the people involved.
BTW - Thanks for providing a perfect example of how far we have slipped in maintaining a standard - guess I have difficulty understanding how a Concours Judge would not dedicate themselves to finding out, as best possible, how the cars they were judging were built so that they would well prepared for the task.
But the discussion was not about how many points to deduct if any, but about how there were originally finished. My 2 cents
,,,,,,,..hmmmm,,where'd you get your picture? Go back and look at the picture in the magazine.
Don't have the magazine - saw the car in person (as well as the others) and took my own pictures
last fall.
Added : I apologize to others viewing that we've gotten off thread. Now back to having fun and helping others
