Event Judging
Judging for the 2023 parade is as follows:
To assure judging, vehicles must be registered and in place by 11:30 a.m.
Please check that the number on the post-a-note given to you at the entrance corresponds with the appropriate class of your vehicle. Also, that number should be on your windshield card.
Thank you for entering your vehicle in this year’s event.
For judging, please open the hood and trunk (if a conventional trunk).
Convertible tops may be up or down (your choice).
Not opening your trunk or hood will put you at a disadvantage to other vehicles in your class.
Judging is based upon authenticity, cleanliness, and condition. It is nearly impossible for the judges to know everything about every make and model. However, they do know what is appropriate for various time frames.
Modern safety devices such as radial tires, turn signals, and seatbelts are allowed without penalty. The same applies to consumables such as spark plugs, radiator hoses, etc.
Variations from factory stock, except as noted above, will negatively impact your vehicle’s judging results. The judge’s decision is final.
If your vehicle is not judged (a dot on a headlight, windshield, or ID card) by 12:00 P.M., please notify a club member. After your vehicle is judged, the hood and/or trunk lid may be closed.
