Thank you Mark for a great article on Val's Roadster. It sure is beautiful! Model A News hit it out of the park again with this issue.

Only thing I see wrong with your car. It's not in my garage . Simply beautiful . Congratulations on your restoration. You did good.

You should be VERY proud indeed! Congratulations!!

C26Pinelake · 11-05-2016, 06:32 PM

A very nice car indeed. I previously asked and got no answer to the question as to how can they allow friends and best friends to judge their friends car? No matter what the result is it is suspect. Judging not only has to be fair but it also must appear fair . A best friend doing the judging does not seem fair to me. Wayne

Congratulations awesome roadster

Safewiz · 11-10-2016, 08:37 AM

Curious also as to what points were deducted for. Car looks great, and I am sure will take many more awards in the future. Enjoy.

Jeff/Illinois · 11-10-2016, 12:07 PM

Very nice!

brum1 · 11-10-2016, 07:32 PM

Great work on the Roadster, congrats on your award!

DougVieyra · 11-10-2016, 11:30 PM

494 points. Can you tell us the significance of the number? How many points are possible - 900, 500, or . . . .

The point score is relative to the over-all possibility. For those of us who are not members of the national clubs and are not familiar with the judging scores of the National Clubs (MARC & MAFCA), and are ignorant of such things, can you help us better understand how your 494 points fits into the scheme of things?

henry's 31 · 11-10-2016, 11:37 PM

Congratulations on a great Honor. Beautiful Car! Enjoy!

494 out of a possible 500 points, and that is extremely hard to do.

I know Mark and Val worked hard and put in many hours to accomplish this. The last time I saw the car it was just a pile of parts in the garage. I'm anxious to see the finished car now.

Mark and Val, your Roadster is absolutely beautiful. A pleasure to judge. It truly could have traveled in a time capsule from 1929. A magnificent restoration.
