Vintage Certification MCACN 2014

[Verne_Frantz]

I would like to say that it was a privilege to be part of Steve Shauger’s team for the Vintage Certification judging at the MCACN. Everyone on the team had a positive attitude and a dedication to performing the most detailed judging criteria I’ve been exposed to in over 30 years. Steve himself was there until midnight Friday trying to finish all of the underside judging since the cars weren’t allowed to be started on Saturday or Sunday. (TWO lifts next year, Steve).
This program, in my opinion, will continue to grow because it is backed by the most qualified judges for each type of car entered. Unlike a Bloomington Survivor award, (non-Corvette) where judges are picked out of a crowd of warm willing bodies, an award given to a car in this program truly affirms something about the originality of the car. In that way, a car achieving an award through this venue will become invaluable as a reference book on wheels for future restorations.
Again, my hat’s off to Steve, his team and his program which is second to none in validating the originality of a variety of unrestored cars. And it's not only for musclecars.
