CONCOURS COMMENTS
– Rand Bailey, Concours Chairman
If there were any complaints about where this year’s
concours judging was held, they were made by people who
would probably complain about being given a stack of
hundred dollar bills. The judges seemed to be happy
rolling around on wall-to-wall carpeting with excellent
lighting and air conditioning. This situation might not
happen again for another forty years!
As has become the case, the level of quality of the cars
continues to get better each year, only outpaced by the in-
creasing knowledge and experience of the judges. Cars
that would have won gold awards ten years ago would
now probably only qualify for a bronze or silver award
today. The standards are established by the judges and
the cars have to stretch to reach them.
Once again, our thanks to the judges and everyone
else involved in organizing and managing the event.
