The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Concourse judged car imponderable question

Hi Everyone, nospartsman, I too have noticed these types of condition issues, also on rears and springs (originally painted parts). It always gets at minimum a remark from me. Frequently there are discussions between myself and the Deputy Judge on the team and his opinion is weighed.

It's really hard to ding a guy when he's taken what he had and made it as nice as could be expected, but it's still showing its age simply because he started with a 75 year old piece.

The other side of the coin is that there are some Dearborn cars out there that are simply not equal to showroom condition.
